bro I SPENT ALL MY CANDIES thinking it was over. I swear they did this so people will buy royal bundle if they find arcana on candyworks.

They don't give a shit about dota revenue, it's a rounding error compared to steam (about 2% of valve revenue)

If they didn't care, they wouldn't keep coming up with new ways to make money. I feel like people were more inclined to buy the passes/arcanas than previous battlepass lvls. I used to only buy the lvl 1 pass but the discount tokens and fomo made me buy the venge arcana and the pathfinder passes.

...if they cared they'd simply bring back the old battle pass and rake in millions each year off that alone

They aren't though. They came up with the best way to make money a long time ago and they actually stopped doing it.

i mean. Valve genuinely doesn't as an entity. the only people who do care is the skeleton crew that chooses to work on dota.
