I present to you, the absolute worst way to support any map creator in history!
>100% of proceeds go to map creator, and not to valve>if there are multiple contributors, they agree upon a revenue split in advance, so those who do less of the map creation work get less of that moneyThe only way to give them more of your money is to know them in person and hand them cash. Every other way of giving them money like paypal or venmo has transfer fees
>>720820296As opposed to?
>>720820296map makers hate it when you send them money instead of liking them on gamebanana
>>720820296>Ugly hat>Ugly unusual effectWow I totally want to support map makers in exchange for that.
>>720824891You dont do it for the hat, you do it to give them money.They also get money if you get a strange filter that corresponds to their map
>>720820296>tramp stamp
>>720824967Why the fuck would I want a Strange Filter? Wowie now my Strange only tracks kills/points on a single map, fucking awesome!
>>720825035You do that because you like using that weapon on that map.Personally I think it would have been better if they worked like strange parts do so it still would work as normal but they wanted to use the name prefix system they built (ie change your Strange Gas Passer to an Aromatic Gas Passer)
>>720825468>You do that because you like using that weapon on that map.Did you know you can do that without making your weapon completely fucking worthless on every other map in the game? It's called not buying and applying a dumbass Strange Filter to it.Not to mention, 99.9% of maps getting added to the game in the last few years are absolutely fucking awful and the people making them do not deserve your support. You know what WOULD get me to support a map maker? If they make a well polished a fun map for one of the misc. modes like PASS Time, Mannpower, or Territorial Control. Y'know, something fun and different instead of a fucking Payload map for the 200th time in a row.
>>720825781I didn't say you needed to, dumbass. You arent the target demographic for strange filters.If you want to see maps for obscure modes that no one plays, go looking for them. They do exist, but they tend to not do too well for the general playerbase. Probably mannpower would do best between the three since its basically just weird CTF.I'd even suggest you learn how to use hammer so you can be the change you want to see, I've been doing so myself and while I have a long way to go I'm having fun with it.
As expected from known scammers who commit false advertising and fraud.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>720826095>If you want to see maps for obscure modes that no one plays, go looking for them.Oh but I have, and I've found quite a few, especially on the PASS Time side of things. The issue that you're too dense to recall though is that this playerbase is filled with faggots who refuse to play anything but 2fort, Dustbowl, Hightower, and Payload. Shit prior to it being moved from the misc pool to CTF, you'd be hard-pressed to find people willing to play 2fort Invasion despite being the same fucking map just with reskinned Pumpkin Bombs lying around.>I'd even suggest you learn how to use hammer so you can be the change you want to see>Implying anyone outside the Emporium is allowed to get anything into the game, whether a map, a cosmetic, or an unusual effectHow about no, that's a waste of time since it would never get into the game, and no community servers would ever run a map I make, just like 99% of custom maps out there. People refuse to play anything but what they've been playing for the last 20k hours.
