Valve's decision to make player statistics private by default for all players will have a drastic effect on sites like Dotabuff. Specifically, the inability to correlate statistical data to a player significantly limits the usefulness of that data. It prevents helpful analysis of the community and removes necessary context from people wanting to use their statistics to track their performance and improve over time.
We were completely caught off guard by the changes Valve announced yesterday. We had been working hard for months under the assumption that Valve supported public statistics since they even went through the trouble of creating an API for them. We are in a delicate position balancing the privacy of players with providing the community with comprehensive statistics. With that in mind we want to do everything within reason to address privacy concerns. Valve has gone ahead and altered a multiplayer game to have restrictive social function for everyone by default.
One of the things we were considering to appeal to the 2:1 majority who wanted DBR to be public was giving Plus users access to openly see the DBR of other players. After releasing the poll results and seeing the passionate outcry against public DBR it became more and more obvious that this wasn’t the best solution.
Ja natürlich, weil sie die bestehende Datenbank ja nicht löschen...DBR wird erst nach ein paar Wochen irrelevant werden.Dotabuff funktioniert immer noch. Die "Privat" Einstellung bringt genau gar nix.
Yesterday we made this statement.
As of an hour ago, Valve has completely taken away our current method of gathering data. This means we are no longer able to get new matches, download replays, qualify aggregates, or properly calculate any other stats (like hero winrates).
While we understand the privacy concerns Valve might have with all data being publicly available, we believe the approach they are taking now is completely wrong. They are trying to force us to use the WebAPI, but there’s some serious downsides to it:
Since the privacy option is private by default, most of the matches have no playerid, or 1 at most in them (the value is -1). This means we can’t calculate any accurate rankings for any players, even if their profile is public.
They have removed the crucial part which makes up the replay url. Replay downloading and parsing was one of our biggest features (both existing and upcoming), which we spent months developing.
When Valve launched the WebAPI (in July), it crashed or got shut down every few days, and wasn’t usable at all. They turned it off completely, and it hasn’t been up for the last 6 months. They have clearly shown the API isn’t a priority for them, and it doesn’t allow us to build a website on top of it.
The WebAPI only came up yesterday, which means even if we wanted to switch to it, we had no time to test and implement it.
We believe there are better privacy alternatives than the one Valve implemented. For example, we had a privacy feature ready to launch today (see screenshots below), which completely removes your profile from our website, while still allowing us to serve accurate statistics to the rest of the community.
We have tried to keep an open dialogue with Valve over the last 6 months (they were aware of our upcoming features well beforehand), but apparently they are not interested in communicating with community websites.
We have invested a lot of our time and own money in trying to make Dotabuff one of the best sites out there, and we are absolutely devastated.
