I don't understand why they are giving away so many free copies of DOTA 2. One of my students has over 20 invites.
Given that the people asking for them are their likely target audience, and already have free copies, how are they ever going to sell any copies when it is only for sale and not free?
What is the business model here?

I guess, they have some kind of online store for the game, where you can buy items for real money.mrbadger wrote:What is the business model here?

They're trying hard to take advantage of the League of Legends market and to monetize that with a cash store. The only way they can do that is by giving away the game, in mass quantities. The more that play, the more that might enter the cash store and buy some gadgets and the less likely that they'll also be playing LoL at the same time...
Have some games sitting around my steam library for a few months. So there's:
dues ex human revolution
thief deadly shadows - taken
evochron mercenary X2
All are on steam so you'll have to pm or post your steam id if I don't already have it.

I've got Evochron and am not interested in Deus Ex, but now that I am part of the Steam Cabal, unwillingly, I can participate in the little freebie deals you guys pass around with such abandon.burger1 wrote:So dues ex human revolution and 2 copies of evochron mercenary are still available.
(I have nothing to give away, since I only have one game registered. But, I guess this means I could buy someone a gift if I felt like it and they had a Steam account. (No solicitations! ))
<-- This is my Steam ID. Don't worry, every bit of registration information I used is different from any I use on any other site. I'm a chameleon...
