It would only work if Valve brought them in their offices since it didn't work with Turtle Rock.

on Steam yea
LoL is probably bigger, but I honestly have no idea what kind of numbers that game does.
LoL is much, much bigger.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Valve isn't going to go buy a 500 person Korean company when they don't even have 500 staff themselves.
League has 27 million daily active players.

Last year it had 100m MAU compared to Dota's 13m.
I'm not sure they need to bother. I mean sure every currency will be different but if 8 million copies were sold using GBP (£) that's 30% of £26.99 X 8 million (using rough numbers here) which, according to my calculator, means Valve would have raked in £64.8 million from it. For doing basically sod all.
Obviously the numbers won't be exactly that due to different currencies and exchange rates etc but you're probably in that kind of ballpark. Valve are laughing their way to the bank for basically zero effort on their side at all, it's ridiculously easy money for them.

I've played since April and it still amazes me they did this with 1 map, a bunch of fairly boring UE shop weapons, and vaulting etc still in development.
It's just such a fun game, even when you lose pathetically. Like last night when I couldn't hit anything.

I think it's pretty uncontroversial to say that it's the biggest non-F2P game on PC right now.

I'm kinda surprised it's grown so much to be honest. The game itself is fun but it felt very anti lone wolf when I played it. I'm not really good enough at it to play solo either so wanted to go in a squad but I'd always end up with some idiots that think landing on top of another squad that got there 20 seconds ago is a good strategy and end up solo again right at the start.
Just a little surprised it's grown so much when having a pre-made feels so crucial to the game.

its pretty easy for casuals to pick this game, up. the more i play it, the more i see why people play it. Its pretty easy to shoot in this game, im ass as shooting and even i can get good kill games. Sniping is easy as shit in this game as well. You see someone running across the open field and you a have a good rifle? easy peasy to take them out.
I can see why, its very casual friendly imo.

...and every other game on the premier PC platform
why are people so mad about pubg's success?
because they dont understand it. i didnt either, but the most my buddies kept asking me to play and im like ahh, alright fine!! then you play it, and can see why, there are things that piss me the Fuck off about the game, but its fun.
Dota 2 has been in beta forever. It left beta status for a while, then a new version came and back to beta it went.
I find it curious that Payday2 and L4D2 players are the least likely to also own PUBG

More thabnDestiny, for sure.
More than Overwatch, maybe not.
The latest Destiny expansion had something like 300k concurrent on Ps4. Add 200 max for Xbox One and you're still below 500.
We don't have concurrent numbers for Overwatch, but that title is also very popular in Asia, so it could be ahead. Who knows

I can't imagine how deflated Daybreak must feel after not getting the jank fixed in H1Z1 and sitting by watching this phenomenon happen.

Its beating Destiny 2's concurent number.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.

L4D3 with this mode could be kind of amazing. Maybe only 50 players to contend with, but you have to manage zombies as well.

Another 80K or so and it will beat DOTA 2's all-time record.
