Despite his advanced age and gradually fading away from active development of the game, Gabe Newell (G Fat), the head of Valve, is still a loyal fan of "Dota 2". According to him, not a day goes by that he misses at least one game of this popular MOBA game.
G Fat has been interested in the game for more than a decade, and in the early 2010s, he admitted that he was obsessed with the game. Moreover, even after playing for hundreds of hours, he still openly calls himself a novice, pointing out that the game has a high threshold and complex mechanics. His attitude towards the game has not changed over the years. Fatty G regularly attends major events and is still playing hard in the game, although he will be attacked by other players in the game due to his low level. However, in his opinion, these criticisms only highlight the enthusiasm of the player community and make the game full of life.
He also pointed out that one of the main features of "Dota 2" is the rapid change of the battle situation. Players need to constantly adapt, revisit strategies, and make decisions almost every few seconds. According to Newell, this is what makes the MOBA genre so compelling. In addition, he compared a game to a complete "plot cycle". In a short period of time, players can complete the process of growing from a weak character to a key figure on the battlefield. He believes that it is this dynamic change that makes people want to start the game again, regardless of whether they lost or won the previous game.
