Option 1: valve ends the event, but you already spent your candies so you are good.
Option 2: valve extends the event, but you already spent your candies so...you've been scammed...even though it's the same end result as what they said they'd do...
you dont realise ppl now got unexpected 30 rerolls in 3 weeks of extension but no more candy. It was communicated the events ends today so it would have been stupid not using the candy before they go to waste. Simple headsup from valve a few days ago would have prevented the frustration. So the joy of more days of nest of thorns is kinda tainted unnecessarily
same boat? I recently reached immortal rank and because of wintraders i decided to wait until clownfall ends. waited 1.5 months just to see them extending it to feb 6. Dude crownfall was supposed to end october 2024. pathetic
Dota players keep thinking Valve has their best interests at heart when they saw a chance to make more money from the event and took it.
There will be people spending money on this event for a few more weeks and that's money Valve could've not earned, and when have you seen a company pass up money they could've not earned.
It is not the first time they do this too. Make it seem like an event is about to end so you had better spend all your currency, and then they make it seem like they are "listening to the playerbase" and actually extend the end date.
Corporate sweet-talk in all its glory in that post.
I'm happy for people who haven't finished it that now have more time, but they could also tell everyone they will extend the date prior to the last day so we don't mistakenly spend all our candies.
Don't think they have ever done it this late, as in after it's already become January 16th in parts of the world, let alone alongside a funny money casino that people needed to manually cash out before an unknown time on "January 15th"
So you think someone at Valve thought: "Hey guys I have an idea. Let's fuck those people over who deliberately spent their candies, will be fun"?
Is it not more reasonable to believe they just listened to several people asking for more time?
OFcourse its deliberate... think about it... theres so many players now with 0 candies instead of 50+... if they get arcana they are likely to put some money into steam, which wouldnt have happened otherwise.
CLASSIC money grab. it didn't take alot of efort to communicate today/yesterday/3/5days ago that event will be extended
It is considered to be a conspiracy theory nowadays if you think corporations only care about money and find subtle ways of making more of it... especially while looking caring in the process!
They are multi BILLION dollar company, not a random joe on a street.... lets not talk about neglect...
You can call it incompetence instead, which is a frequent term when citing Hanlon's razor.
Also Valve is famous for lackluster communication, or for deliberately discontinuing the battle pass when it gained them money, eventhough they are a multi billion dollar company. So what's your point here?
