William Pugh, co-designer of The Stanley Parable, has over 1,600 hours in Dota 2: 'It's not a game made of love. It's a game fuelled by hate and a desire to conquer'

William Pugh, co-designer of The Stanley Parable, has logged over 1,600 hours in Dota 2. He attributes this dedication to the game's stripped-down nature, which removes many of the annoyances often found in other hero shooters. Pugh describes Dota 2 as "pure" at the moment, with each hero feeling like they are being developed and discovered by the community. He also mentions that the game has reignited his passion for mapping, which further fueled his interest in game design.
