Many of you may remember that DOTA, the popular single character RTS army commanding strategy game, started as a Warcraft III Mod. The game went on to spawn full releases like League of Legends and Valve’s new Dota 2. Of course, Valve and Blizzard had a bit of a problem when Valve began making a new paid game that spawned from a free Blizzard mod, but, as of Friday, they have reached an agreement. Valve will have control over DOTA in a commercial sense. This includes Dota 2 and any further paid DOTA products. However, Blizzard will own DOTA for all non-commercial uses. This includes player-made maps for Warcraft III and StarCraft II.
