Valve keeping up with the trend of “worst kept secrets”. You need an invite to join the alpha but since everyone who owns it can refer their friends, it spread very quickly.
I’ve been playing it the past few days and it’s honestly very fun. Still a bit rough around the edges (especially in terms of balance) since it’s in early access, but it has serious potential to be dota 2 levels of popular.
For the unaware, Deadlock is a 3rd person shooter MOBA. It feels like a mix of Dota and Overwatch/Team Fortress. Nobody is allowed to share footage or screenshots, but obviously with so many playing there’s a ton of leaks out there.
- I feel like Steam has gotten rid of the invite thingy, because I can clearly see the “Buy Now” button.
- I don’t have VR 🥲
Nvm, I was looking at the wrong game. Doesn’t look even close to a Third Person Shooter. More like an Inside the Person Shooter
They are trying to build hype. The leaks are intentional and expected.
Dota 2 wasn’t that popular.
It literally has the second most concurrent players of any game on Steam at the moment and still has over half of the concurrent player numbers compared to its peak 8 years ago.
Are there certain markets where it’s significantly more popular? I’ve never met anyone in the US that plays it.
Where would we meet you? Outside? I don’t go there, I’m too addicted to DOTA.
On Lemmy with the rest of the nerds, duh!
The US was always kind of a dead region for Dota, but it is/was very big in europe (especially Russia), south America, China, southeast Asia
I always kind of suspected that. Thanks for confirming!
Valve keeping up with the trend of “worst kept secrets”
Well it’s very intentional I believe. You can invite an unlimited number of friends and there’s no NDA or anything, they just casually ask you to not share details about the game since it’s still a work in progress and in alpha, despite it looking like mostly finished to be fair. Characters are fully voiced and nothing really screams placeholder content, and most updates are regarding “balancing” and mechanic changes, just trying out what’s best.
The release notes don’t mention it much, but the map detailing and art is getting massive improvements in each update
