Hypothetically, Newell has talked about a very special payment model for Dota 2. "So, in practice, a really likable person in our community should get DOTA 2 for free, because of past behavior in Team Fortress 2" Newell added. "Now, a real jerk that annoys everyone, they can still play, but a game is full price and they have to pay an extra hundred dollars if they want voice." They're already steering towards a F2P market as you can tell by TF2.
