Quoting: razing32I wish someone could remaster BFE to make it more colorful.
It is a fun game but the aesthetics kill it for me. The first and second encounter felt like an amusement ride. BFE feels like a gray-brown modern military shooter.

You can change the color scheme in the game's settings. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KTjg92fQDE [External Link]
I mean: It's at least something :S:

Been thinking about buying the game for a longer time now. I'll be waiting for the upcoming patch/DLC now, too. Thank you very much for your elaborate article, BTRE! <3

Quoting: g000hAny idea how much Croteam gain from sales of the game? Seeing as Crackshell are the primary developers on it.

I have no numbers, but it must be sufficient to justify licensing their intellectual property, so.. whatever. Now stop talking, buy the game and have fun with it already!

For someone that doesn't fear to use wine and has an itch account, since the game is Windows only: [users-only]https://tgabian.itch.io/neutron-star-final/download/RLS-JTmik9mnJhGBDowrPZBu88Dfa-jbdvtZNLaW65uE87p3Fp6CPoSTa[/users-only]

Finally! Best game mode ever for local hot seat games. Maybe I should consider getting the game in the upcoming summer sale.

Quoting: Guestinteresting because next you write the following:[...]

I underminded my previous statement with that.

Quoting: Guestcan you please decide if you want to talk about security or not.

Sigh, though this should be more than clear now: No.
I won't even bother reading the rest of your post, it will only be more unintelligible gibberish again.

Quoting: GuestSecond old phone?!? [...]

Stop constructing fictional scenarios that don't exist and claim them to be the reason Dota 2 will be financially unseccessful because of a declining playerbase. It won't.

Quoting: GuestYou want to talk about security?

No.

Quoting: GuestYou know you can do something without the need of phone numbers and phone application? [...]

Doesn't matter what alternatives would be possible, beacuse Valve already has great security measures in place.

Quoting: GuestYou know that giving people free skins is making them stay despite the fact that the community is not great despite the fact that the games are often one sided?

You seem to be one of those "gg"-spammers after 10mins when it seems to you the game is impossible to win, although it's not. Of course it's always the other's fault you're losing, never your own. Games are rarely one-sided all the way through. Furthermore is winning not the requirement for a game to be good or fun.

Rest is just unintelligible gibberish or offtopic.

Quoting: GuestIf someone got access to your account [...]

You're running in a circle with your arguments and constructing scenarios again. The account holder is responsible for the security of their account. There are easy ways to keep your phone safe, like having the Steam app installed on a second old phone you keep at home only, and/or use landline numbers.

Quoting: GuestYou assume that everyone that plays Dota 2 has a phone[...]

Security and comfort always contradict each other.

Quoting: GuestThe trend is a negative one.[...]

Yes, but nothing concering. 7.00 hasn't killed this game, so this tiny little and imo overdue change won't either. CS:GO added the same phone number requirement ages ago.

Rest is offtopic.

Quoting: Guest1) you can remove the phone number without a confirmation sms, well you made an useless protection

Wrong, you must confirm removal of phone number through Steam Guard (e.g. Steam app or E-Mail).

Quoting: Guest2) you require a code from a sms sent to the old phone number to remove it, we have a problem because maybe you want to remove it because your phone got stolen from you, it was a prepaid and surprise the mobile operator doesn't care and refuses to replace your sim with a new one having the same number (I have this particular problem in my country with all the mobile operators if I use prepaid and prepaid is actualy the cheapest option for someone like me that doesn't really uses a phone). Good luck with steam support...

You're just constructing scenarios. Furthermore your statement is also wrong: Phone numbers can be removed by SMS (obviously), Steam Guard codes from the Steam app, and even your E-Mail.

Quoting: GuestYou need players that don't spend a single cent in moba games, without them the game will have same fate as Strife. Such players don't lose much if their accounts are stolen. And accounts can be lost mostly in 4 ways: [...]

Adding your phone number does not cost any money and there's still unranked. I highly doubt that Dota 2 will have the same fate as Strife or other MOBA's.

Quoting: GuestAnd because I don't like being forced [...]

You're not forced into anything at all, there's unranked still. I don't want to offend you, but I think you're just overreacting a little.
Whatever, you're free to not accept the change, though I hope I could clear some things up regarding the phone reset stuff on Steam.

Quoting: Guesthttp://steamcharts.com/app/570 the numbers from here, if real, suggest that Dota 2 has hit it's peak in feb-mar 2016 and is losing players since then.

That's as usual. There are always peaks when a new Battle Pass is released or there is an The International.
Examples: 2nd August 2016, start of International 2016; 5th Oct 2016, release of Fall 2016 Battle Pass; 26th January, release of Winter 2017 Battle Pass.
