    I’m glad they do these things.

    It also makes me more likely to put time into Deadlock, because I know they’ll support it for a while.

      I was talking to my friend about it today. The jury is out on whether Deadlock will be free to play or not, but I expect it will and I expect them to set it up as the new generation’s TF2 - i.e. Valve’s home cooked free to play game, and this thing might have a tail of 15 years or more.

      I might be wrong, but I hope I’m not. I like Deadlock so far.

        The problem is, if Deadlock goes free to play, then they will have so many problems with cheaters and bots, as any other free to play game.

          Sure, but so does any game. And Valve has put a lot of work, pretty recently, into washing all the bots out of TF2. So they’re well primed for the war in that department.
