I'm not alone in feeling concerned about this Dota 2 event. It's strange how it feels when one team invests heavily in its Year Beast while others don't, leading to an unbalanced experience. The article from The Verge suggests this might be a temporary change, but the real worry is that similar issues could arise at other events. I enjoy playing with friends in Unranked matches, but if events push us into high-spending mode, it's frustrating.

The way to earn rewards in Dota is through regular gameplay, not just buying cosmetics. -.- This special event is temporary, and normal play will resume afterward. It’s disappointing, but it won’t impact the main game.

You're purchasing cosmetics, yet they provide feedback to boost your beast abilities. The higher your team's points, the stronger your beast becomes. This minor detail still signals a warning. Valve's free-to-play model remains the top example for this genre.

For the EVENT it won't impact the main game. Valve isn't foolish by that stage.

Valve struggles a lot with creating game modes, but honestly, I’m not too concerned. What really excites me is the cosmetic package in New Bloom.

I rely on Valve for free-to-play options. They executed it flawlessly with TF2, understanding they could earn more by offering cosmetics rather than charging full prices for a P2W title (they’d likely have released CSGO F2P sooner if not for the role-based ranking system and its ease of exploitation). This is just a nice touch for the new year.
