But honestly when was the last time Valve released some IP they created, answer, HL2.
I'm not sure I see how it matters.
I think the point is that everyone is jumping to the defense of Valve as if they're some savior of the gaming community, when they haven't released anything of their own since 2007. Essentially, Valve is riding the coattails of the mod community, making bank on other people's work, and shoving it down our throats through Steam and its sales. And we lap it up, we lap it up because we love it.
They're both dicks, but if you actually take the time to read the opposition Blizzard does have the better claim to the trademark. It wouldn't be as simple as Valve renaming the game, since the Dota 2 is pretty much an exact remake of Dota; same hero names, same spell names, creeps, items, etc. If Blizzard ends up winning Valve would have to redesign the entire game. |
