Wiping the dribble from their face draws the desired, if amusingly hostile response. It's becoming a hobby.
DOTA 2 is just another way for blizzard to get money. i never heard of them giving any profits to the guy who actually CREATED dota...
Shouldn't they have a legal obligation to do so, they probably had to buy the rights to the game since even though it was a mod for their system since the intellectual property rights would belong with the creator...
Dota 2 is being made by Valve, and the game is being developed by some of the people who made the original. Gotta know yo' facts fool.
If there were, a company like Valve would have paid for it already. Things like that wouldnt just go un-noted.
well it is a crap game that's pretty much the PC version of madden. plus you said some of the original makers were helping. what about the others? do they get a chance to get some their rightful rewards? DOTA is and always will be a fad for people who lack the ability to control large armies.
Not really. The genre is exploding, but they have only made one official DOTA, and two sequels are in development. Almost all of them work on their League of Legends or Heroes of Newerth. They chose to go make those games, so whatever. DOTA's skill ceiling is roughly par with any other competitive strategy game. You don't really know what you are talking about.
While MOBA games are boring, ugly, WoW-influenced sacks of shit, they aren't the PC equivalent of Madden, and they do take skill to play.
Okay, let's test that logic. Say i created a game that exploded with popularity. Then i went on to create a game that was of the same genre, so i don't own the intellectual property of that game anymore?
No, you don't. Creating a genre doesn't mean your entitled to the rights of every game made in it, only the rights to the one you made. Should iD, the people who made Doom, get a royalty from Call of Duty? Should Westwood Studios, the people who made Dune 2, get a royalty from SC2? No, they shouldn't. Even if your dumb logic was true, and someone was somehow magically entitled to the rights of whatever genre they made, the people who made DOTA Allstars didn't have a registered trademark on the game until after Valve registered their own. So your wrong on two levels.
idiots like you is why ACTA is here. it's their intellectual property and everybody needs to respect that copyright or not.
But what if they don't? They aren't obliged, since there's no copyright. Everyone should respect it, yes. Everyone needs to respect that? No.
