Nemiga Gaming manager criticizes Valve: scandal details

Eduard "zverHDD" Ashurkevich, the manager of Nemiga Gaming, has called most of The International 2023 Talent Bundles stickers overpriced trash.

He expressed this opinion in his Telegram channel, posting about it.

The esports professional was outraged that they are charging the price of a full game on Steam for just a couple of phrases. Furthermore, in his opinion, a large portion of the stickers was added merely for quantity rather than quality.

"Stickers with phrases from casters and analysts were added to the game. Only about 30% of them are genuinely funny and interesting, while the rest appear to be mere filler.

This raises the main question: why are they asking for $20 for this? Some of them consist of just one phrase, and this raises questions about the pricing balance. Is this fair? With this money, you could buy several Battle Passes or a full game on Steam. What is happening with Valve this year? Perhaps they have a challenge to 'sell more trash at a high price'"
