Steam Purchase Now Downloading – What Do You Do?

Mike G from Twinfinite writes:

Ahh, the Steam Summer Sale. What a glorious time to be alive. As this year’s winds down and I look at the backlog I’ve slowly begun to make a dent in, I choose my next game and begin the download process.

And then what? Even with my stellar Internet connection, this massive game will still take upwards of an hour to completely arrive. How to pass the time? What can I fill an hour of anticipation with before diving into the hell of Spec Ops: The Line or the massive world of Baldur’s Gate 2: Enhanced Edition?

Valve: 'Smurfing Is Not Welcome In Dota', Bans 90,000 Accounts

Valve has spoken out forcefully against smurfing in Dota 2 after banning more than 90,000 accounts - and targeting their owners.

Pardon my ignorance for never having played this, but why even have the ability to create multiple guest accounts? It seems if there is only one account per player then it would eliminate this smurfing issue.

Probably to get new players hooked on the addictive gameplay loop, more people playing = statistically more people buying battle passes.

Makes sense and cents for Valve. Thanks

Why would seasoned players want to play with lower skill players anyway? Just to owned them? They’re n00bs, what’s the fun in that?

It’s like on COD where they do bad on purpose for a few rounds, to then be place with with bad players to then dominate.

This is human nature. I know people who do this in Dota2, CoD and other multiplayer games. They enjoy the dopamine rush that winning generates.
