“[DOTA 2] is going to be free-to-play. It’ll have some twists, but that’s the easiest way for people to think about it.”
As reported by Polygon, that’s what Gabe Newell had to say on a recent Seven Day Cool Down podcast. Valve’s big wheel has already admitted to playing the MOBA for a staggering 800 hours, and now he’s talking cash. Valve have already developed some interesting ideas on how to reward valued members of the community: the Team Fortress 2 workshop allows people to create in-game items, and make a significant profit if they sell. Now Valve are hoping to reward player’s good behaviour too.
“The issue that we’re struggling with quite a bit is something I’ve kind of talked about before, which is how do you properly value people’s contributions to a community?” says Gabe. “We’re trying to figure out ways so that people who are more valuable to everybody else [are] recognized and accommodated. We all know people where if they’re playing we want to play, and there are other people where if they’re playing we would [rather] be on the other side of the planet.”
According to the master of Valve, individual games don’t need to have completely separate communities. Valve have already experimented with this way of thinking in Steam’s item trading system, where you can feasibly swap a Team Fortress 2 hat for a copy of Portal, if you find someone who’s willing.
“When you start thinking about the different games that people play and you try to think about how people can create value or a service in one game and benefit somebody in a different game, you can start to see how the different games sort knit together,” said Valve’s big wheel.
We’ll have more on DOTA 2 soon. If Steam stats are anything to go by (which they are), a lot of you are playing it right now.

| Wasn't it in beta this whole time getting ready to go f2p? Dota is just some kind of mod to begin with that became its own game. Or I though it was.

That would be a mod sir. Any altering of a game that is legal is considered a mod. If it was illegal it would be hacks.

It's not altering of a game. It's a map made in the map editor included with the game. The original Defense of the Ancients was made by editing a map with 3rd party software that was a hack.
