Sean "Day9" Plott, event host of this year's The International DotA 2 Championships, showed the crowd a teaser video from Valve, which announced Artifact, a digital card game based on Valve's DotA 2. Valve has announced that Steam users in the United Kingdom will now need to link a credit card to their account if they want to access games or pages marked with “mature content.” This move is part of Valve’s compliance with the UK’s Online Safety Act, which enforces stricter age verification for online platforms. This new rule means that without a credit card, UK Steam users cannot even view community hubs or discussions about mature-rated games. If stricter rules like this are implemented in the Philippines in the future, many local players may find themselves locked out of certain games since not everyone has access to a credit card. What a season it has been for DotA 2 and for the Philippines after our country’s representative, TNC Pro team, has won the championship title and took home big winnings of two of the largest electronic sports game competition across the world – The International 2016 (TI6) and World Electronic Sports Game 2016 (WESG).
