I really wanted a Dota 2 beta key, So I asked

[Substance]

I've been trying for months to get a beta key for Dota,

I applied on steam, try for every giveaway on steamgifts and signed up to a couple of key distributing websites but never had any luck,

This morning I emailed Gabe Newell, It looks as he forwarded it onto the right department and I got my key

The duck pic just did it for him

Well done! Enjoy!

Damn, I used a different duck picture.
SO CLOSE

This has got to be a) one of the best threads ever b) just another reason to love steam and gabe

 

[Huw]

HA! Fantastic work there, mate! Enjoy!

Gabe's probably eaten the duck already.

Wouldn't get that from EA or Ubisoft, duck or not. Well done Substance

I like the way the duck is saying cheese.

 

[trickycurve]

Haha, that's awesome! I have a friend who wants into the Dota 2 beta, so I'll recommend to him that he email Gabe with an attached picture of a duck.
