However that was before merge with Activision. I was just interested if they originally had the power to do so. It still goes under donation tho not a sale.Īs for Dota Allstars, It would be obviously be a PR disaster for Blizzard to takeover Dota for themselves without any credit to actual creators, also they most likely were not familiar enough nor had plans to continue making the map. I have seen some websites for example give extra cosmetic perks to donors. However tho I wonder how will the state of custom maps go with the Warcraft 3 Remake/Remaster? I don't think Blizzard will make the same mistake of not adding In game purchases to the game to ensure longevity while also not having ways to capitalize on run away success mods such as Dota or TDs. I don't see how Blizzard might not like this tho, Warcraft 3 has no in-game purchases so whoever has bought the game won't be spending more money on it. Then also maybe add a perk for Patreon supports to get some customized cosmetics in my map? I wonder how do you draw the line between with what's donation and what is a commercial sale?įor example would really be illegal if I made a map and made a patreon page for players to support me if they like my map. I believe this is the EULA we are talking about? Blizzard Entertainment:Blizzard End User License Agreement Bnet was originally a 3rd party program back in War2 days (not known as Bnet at the time), Blizzard said "Hey, guys, want jobs?". I believe Steam was also external in original (not known as steam at the time obviously)īlizzard are also doing pretty damn good job incorporating mods & externals. Most of Valve's latest(not that they release a lot lately, take that a bit broadly ) games were actually mods of other of their games, e.g. Valve & Blizzard both understand that and they have incorporated it very well. The modding community is a very good place to stick your hand and take out an experienced programmer/artist/other. There is absolutely nothing wrong being nice to modders, Blizzard has ALWAYS been nice to them, ever since StarCraft (the original) It has been usually a team and the team who is famous with DotA is currently working in Riot Games and Valve. and name changed for many reasons.Īlso, the "that dude who made dota" is lost in time (kinda) and almost never actually existed. Valve has DotA 2.īlizzard initially planned to name HoTS as "Blizzard DotA" and Valve sued but that was settled out of court. The guys themselves never owned anything on DotA and nobody ever did. As I am aware, the guys behind DotA Allstars (The latest, best, most beloved & played and still up-to-date DotA version) split halfway, half went out and made LoL and the other half was employed by Valve to work on DotA 2. ![]()
