Dota 2 Abandons Battle Pass Model to Focus on Regular Updates.

Valve is getting rid of the Battle Pass system in Dota 2, as most players never buy it and it takes time and resources away from other content updates. The Battle Pass originated from The International tournament and became a yearly content update that overshadowed other updates. Dota 2 will still have content tied to The International and its prize pool, but players won't have any new skins or accessories to grind for. Dota 2 is the first free-to-play game to retire the battle pass system.
