This may not be the best place to fanboy, but I wanted to say how much I REALLY appreciate your guy's model. It's been a total breath of fresh air in an environment that supports the absolutely worst trends in perverse incentives for free to play games; so just, thank you to you and all of your team.

(on top of that, it's a damn solid game too.)

Oh, Path of Exile! A coworker was chatting with me about how much he liked the DLC model for that game because it doesn't give anyone a purchased advantage, it's strictly cosmetic. He also said that this was the game that Diablo III should have been.

It and DotA2 are the primary titles supporting this model, and it's great for players.

It's hard to sell to marketing though, apparently.
