Maniac, learn to spell. Beyond that, he's (Dead Things Mikey) not wrong. They are mismarketing the game and using the beta to market the game, which is generally a fuck up - look at EA. Not releasing a timeline, people refer to "Valve Time". Even valve gives a timeline. This game has sucked up so much money yet it seems to have what 3 people working on it? This is ridiculous to the extreme. The game should've been complete and been released by now, instead we have a totally shit community that in almost every single game is abusive or retarded (I'm high silver, so it's not just the lowest of the low) and can't even get it's shit together enough to get the content in order. I for one stopped playing at any serious level. The hype from tournaments and the exploitation of players by the company is too much. This game will stand alone for quality, but it'll be replaced quickly enough by a company that gets it shit together. Really, that's what it boils down to, the response of things in the development cycle are nauseatingly slow and instead of hiring more people and getting things done faster, much of the work could and is being done by one or a few people and that's just unacceptable. DoTA 2 will be remembered as a footnote in MOBAs for that fact alone and I for one regret ever putting one hour and one dime, much less a thousand into it. And don't get me started on if the devs were in a taxi and it crashed, it's retarded to have all the eggs in one basket and for more than just the fact that they get almost nothing done. It's more like they're exploiting the playerbase to assuage their egos and develop as a hobby rather than as any serious commercial effort. It's sad.

Because. Techies.

lol, plans don't equate to shitty work. if you don't know what you can do when you plan, sure, but in that case you shouldn't be trying to do anything professional anyhow.

Why is there no tentative (or hell, firm, it's a company) release date and timeline? No offense intended, even mildly.
