Sure Blizzard didn't file the lawsuit for purely altruistic reasons, but that doesn't mean that the company was being an ass or that gamers wouldn't benefit from its actions. Come on, now, let's not be naive. I have come to love a few Blizzard games in my time but Blizzard acts in their own best interest now, no one else's. And yes, they acted like asses. Regardless of what their BS legaleze says in their user agreement, ethically they have zero right to the name as well. It belongs to the mod makers, period. Moral ownership trumps legal ownership every time in my book. Of course, I'm not a lawyer, nor do I give a good rats ass about copyright and IP law.
EDIT: And by what revisionist spindoctor version of the above statements is anyone coming to the conclusion that Blizzard came out on top here? Valve gets to name their game DOTA,they retain the rights to it commercially, and Blizzard is changing theirs to "Allstars". Did we read the same headline?
