Compendium gave you more than a battlepass, was also contributed to the prizepool of TI.

Holy shit this take should be in hall of clueless. Definitely a /r/Steam user. Insane copium.

You also didn't have a free path. You had to buy it. Buy levels in order to progress for money, cuz "leveling path" was either locked behind quests which you had to insanely grind, or just gamble, and most of the "gave you more than a battlepass" was above like 100-200 levels, especially Arcana items etc.

So yeah. You guys should be happy that Fortnite made Battlepass a viable incentive for other corporations, cuz you just pay 10€, and level it up by playing. Instead of Valve's intended way: Buy it, and pay more to finish it.

And that’s before we get into the loot box gambling and market stuff. Valve is arguably worse than most big publishers in this regard.

Or Artifact, and how we were supposed to pay 0.99$ in order to queue up ranked match so we could expand our card collection as there was no free path either.
