Although, he also mentioned that the payment structure will have some twists. Specific details were not given by Newell, however, he did hint that whatever payment structure ends up being enforced into the game, it could somehow separate the keen, and skilled players from the noobs and trolls.

Newell also said that the game will include content created by the public in the way that Team fortress 2, this is aside the Valve-produced content. It also may include potential items like a Skyrim mount as a Dota 2 item courier. In the interview, the Skyrim mount was just an example that Newell gave, but wouldn't be all that surprising because Team fortress 2 already has a number of items that cross over with other steam titles.

Dota 2 has no release date and is currently in closed beta testing.

here are a few DOTA 2 screenshots to give you a reminder on what the game may include:

Has been a while
Nothing is ever "Free"... most likely in-game exclusive cash only items/perks/ whatever can be used to gain some sort of advantage over non paying customers.
