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.
