Valve keeping up with the trend of "worst kept secrets". You need an invite to join the alpha but since everyone who owns it can refer their friends, it spread very quickly.

I've been playing it the past few days and it's honestly very fun. Still a bit rough around the edges (especially in terms of balance) since it's in early access, but it has serious potential to be dota 2 levels of popular.

For the unaware, Deadlock is a 3rd person shooter MOBA. It feels like a mix of Dota and Overwatch/Team Fortress. Nobody is allowed to share footage or screenshots, but obviously with so many playing there's a ton of leaks out there.

It literally has the second most concurrent players of any game on Steam at the moment and still has over half of the concurrent player numbers compared to its peak 8 years ago.

Are there certain markets where it's significantly more popular? I've never met anyone in the US that plays it.

Where would we meet you? Outside? I don't go there, I'm too addicted to DOTA.

The US was always kind of a dead region for Dota, but it is/was very big in europe (especially Russia), south America, China, southeast Asia

I always kind of suspected that. Thanks for confirming!
