The deal, in plain language.

Hindsight is a coaching service for Dota 2. It reads public match data and replay files for games you played, produces analysis of them, and — where you spend a credit — generates a written coaching report. It is a tool for improving at a video game. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Valve Corporation.

You sign in with Steam, and your Hindsight account is tied to that Steam account. You're responsible for keeping access to your Steam account secure; anyone who can sign in as you at Valve can sign in as you here.

Hindsight is currently invite-only. Invite codes are for the person they were issued to; sharing one publicly may get it revoked. We may suspend or close an account that's being used to abuse the service, scrape it at volume, or resell access to it.

Tracking your matches and reading the analysis is free. Generating a coaching report costs one credit. Paid plans grant a number of credits each month; credit packs are one-time purchases that don't expire.

Monthly credits are for that month — they reset on renewal and don't roll over. Pack credits do roll over and are spent after your monthly ones. If a report fails to generate, the credit is returned to you automatically. You can cancel a subscription at any time and keep access for the period you've paid for.

Hindsight is in closed beta. Things will change, occasionally break, and sometimes be taken away. We may change how reports are written, what a plan includes, or how the analysis works, and we'll try to tell you when it matters.

We also can't promise the analysis is right. It's produced automatically from replay data, and automated analysis makes mistakes — a report may misread a fight, misjudge a decision, or grade you against the wrong expectation. Treat it as a well-informed second opinion, not as fact. If a report gets something wrong we'd genuinely like to hear about it.

Replays are only available from Valve for about two weeks. We can't analyse a game whose replay has expired, and that isn't something we can fix.

Your match data is yours and Valve's; we're reading something already public. The reports we generate for you are yours to read, keep, and share. The service itself — the software, the analysis, the site — is ours.

If you share a report link, anyone with that link can read it. That's the point of the feature, but it's worth knowing before you paste one somewhere public.

You can stop using Hindsight whenever you like and ask us to delete your account — see data & privacy. We may end the service, or your access to it, with reasonable notice where we can give it.
