Valve Trademarks 'DOTA'

Posted by Soulskill on from the vi-sitter-i-ventrilo dept.

An anonymous reader tips news that Valve Software has filed a trademark claim for the term "DOTA," fueling speculation that the company will soon reveal a new Defense of the Ancients game. Voice actor John St. John recently said he was recording for such a game in a post to Twitter. The tweet was subsequently deleted. Last year Valve hired 'Icefrog,' lead developer for the original DotA mod.

    and stop doing such nonsense as releasing and developing games but release the native steam client for linux.

    Seriously, it has been long enough now.

    After that, you can go back to business as usual and do as many games and mods and maps (and whatnot) as you like and I – as a long time linux user – can finally start caring!
