If you visit Reddit or some similar site, you could probably see posts/messages/whatever you call them like "༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give DIRETIDE" or "volvo plx fiks ded gaem" . If you know and understand what those mean, good for you; go laugh more! If you dont know what's all about, let me explain you:

Last year Dota 2 had a halloween event called "Diretide". Since TF2 halloween event happens every year, and the flavor text of Diretide said it was a annual event (like WoW Winter Veil), people started getting hyped.

There was no Diretide, and the shit hit the fan.

Disgruntled players starded spamming twitch chat with emotes, which eventually changed to people losing on purpose in-game to "call Valve's attention" and defacing Wikipedia articles and raiding the game Metascore.

They also spammed Volvo's (Volvo is a pun of Valve) reddit and facebook pages. One guy even called Volvo to ask them about Diretide.
The most interesting/funniest part is that Volvo actually responded to all the spam.

I can only think people at Valve can't stop laughing.

That response by Volvo is brilliant. Kinda silly by Valve to suggest it would be yearly and then not do anything, especially considering they want DotA to be huge.

Don't care about Dota or Dota players. Most people don't either. Including Valve. In other words, nobody cares about diretide.

By "most people" He is right. Out of all the gamers, only a certain number play Dota, and out of these, a certain number demand diretide.
"Nobody cares about diretide" That's not true, because there are Dota plays who care, and some, a lot.

About Valve, that depends. They already make enough money from Hat Fortress 2 and the other games anyway.
