Summary
Valve has given away a new set of Dota 2 cosmetics called Quartero’s Curios, adding the character Quartero to the game.
Quartero was added to the game’s dashboard, with Valve saying players would prefer to see curios rather than game stats.
However, Quartero’s Curios are similar to a battle pass, with players able to unlock more items through playing and winning games.
The move comes after Visa and Mastercard removed some adult games from Steam, with Valve saying the financial institutions had overstepped their authority.
Valve is reportedly developing a new, cheaper, Steam payment system to circumvent the issue.
The new payment system would allow Steam to circumvent the banks’ and financial institutions’ restrictions on certain games.
