We don't even know if the full name is "Jane Doe". For all we know, it could be "Jane Jack"... or "John Jane".

I am now a shiny stone~
That's actually a pretty good Crystal Maiden set there
I like how there is now more than one character.

Just making sure. Though I don't quite get what the joke is supposed to be. Is it a parody of a clothing set in the game, perhaps?
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
Templar Assassin likes mysteries and secrets.
Huh, did author stop using TF 2 gender swaps or just gave them names or something?
Yes, they got names.

One or two dozen strips ago, in fact.

Why do companies even bother with these "anti-trolling" measures? It's obvious that they always get subverted. They can't be that cowed by Moral Guardians or the Media Watchdog, can they?
Well it at least reduces them.
Also, what was that strip about?

The joke is that they're rich thanks to the game.

Since Jo wore me down and got me to play Dota2, I'm in favour of them, because while it has actually not been as bad as people told me it would be, I have been in games with real assholes who don't deserve to communicate.
I'm not saying that there should be no communication allowed at all, just that I agree with Windranger in this comic about restricting who gets to do it.
EDIT: On the other side of it, when I played World Of Warcraft I thought it was very stupid that Alliance and Horde players couldn't talk directly to each other. Because not everybody PV Ps, after all, and I had friends on the other side whom I'd have liked to be able to talk to without switching characters.

Yes but what game, what kickstarter?
It's from Valve selling "compendiums" for Dota 2 while their big tournament called "The International" is going on, at ten bucks a pop.
You can read what people get for that here. I should be able to make at least some of the cost back by selling certain items I've gotten on the Steam market.

Question for everybody: at this point, would you say Morgan qualifies as an Ensemble Dark Horse? You know, since she didn't win the initial vote but gets more love in the comments than any of the other girls regardless.
The Cosmopolitan Fictioneer
Would someone mind explaining the thing that this strip is commenting on?
Going by the comments, I'm guessing that Twitch is cracking down on streamers dressing suggestively.
Compulsive Researcher
Just going by the strip and the comments, it seems Twitch.tv (a video streaming site intended for gamers, although you probably knew that) now has a dress code banning the wearing of "suggestive" clothing while streaming. Anne-Marie is annoyed because there's been repeated strips featuring her doing exactly that.
The Cosmopolitan Fictioneer
What is it like?
The Cosmopolitan Fictioneer
No frigging idea. It's pay-to-play, and my budget is tight as it is.
And the "family" reunites at last. Now we're just missing a female medic, a female scout, a female pyro, and a female sniper to complete the set.

Oh yeah, Jo's at liberty to give them whatever names he wants. But he appears to have based his Soldier's name on the name given to the Soldier in the TF 2 comics. So, it would be funnier if the joke was also carried over, in my opinion.
I have a message from another time...
