[QUOTE=portalcrazy;51610031]dota 2 is a free game on the top sellers list[/QUOTE] And? It's by gross revenue and DOTA 2 makes Valve bank thanks to cosmetics. How is this surprising?

all true points; be warned after the fact that i am not smart

[QUOTE=Ott;51610033]Title is misleading, this isn't a sale.[/QUOTE] It's technically an extension of the already-on sale, they didn't put anything new on sale as far as I can tell. Naturally, a free game wouldn't have a price reduction.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;51610085]And? It's by gross revenue and DOTA 2 makes Valve bank thanks to cosmetics. How is this surprising?[/QUOTE] Because "2016 best sellers" would usually mean "most copies sold." You can't sell copies of a f2p game. It's not until you read the small text that it clarifies otherwise.

You'd have clicked through and seen the text at the top dead center that explains that before you started on the actual list.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;51610110]Not really an issue. You'd have clicked through and seen the text at the top dead center that explains that before you started on the actual list.[/QUOTE] Not saying it's an issue. It's just clear as to how the confusion came about so I don't know how you're confused.

Well, I'm confused now because I don't know what I'm confused about :v:

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;51610186]Well, I'm confused now because I don't know what I'm confused about :v:[/QUOTE] You were confused as to how it was surprising to some people that there were f2p games on there.

[QUOTE=Ager O'Eggers;51609949]"The top games as measured by gross revenue this year" Who organized this event, Valve's accountants?[/QUOTE] isn't that just called Valve?

[QUOTE=Keychain;51614901]You were confused as to how it was surprising to some people that there were f2p games on there.[/QUOTE] I'm surprised. It's not hard to figure it out when you read the subtitle.

Infinite Warfare must of bombed pretty hard considering Bo3 grossed more in 2016 I realize that Bo3 had longer, but typically these titles bring in most of their revenue on day one.
