Heck, they can't even call it DotA 2 (different cases).
red chamber dream

Club 27 Goals
yeah it's kinda funny like that

like I figured they would change the name entirely like Blizzard did
From what I hear, HotS didn't turn out so well.
red chamber dream
yeah i really don't get why they didn't just change the name

it's not like their audience wouldn't be able to understand it
red chamber dream
like, everyone who plays dota is a total fucking nerd, they would understand if a company said they had to change the name
Well, all the legal stuff happened after development started.

yeah I mean they weren't trying to make it on-par to Dota 2 or LoL, from the start they just wanted it to be the TF2 of the CS/Quake world
red chamber dream
wait what

i'll admit i don't know anything about mobas but isn't hots a moba?
red chamber dream
and like, not similar to cs/quake at all

yeah from what I remember, they fulled intended the "full" title to be Defense of the Ancients 2, and then shit got fucked with legal trademarks.

then instead of coming up with a new name because they already printed everyone's name tags and had the file names set up, they were lazy and stuck with it

Club 27 Goals
oh no I mean the way TF2 is to CS and Quake
HotS is to LoL and Dota 2
Like TF2 is a party simulator pretending to be an FPS.
red chamber dream
oh

i guess i thought cs was more popular than tf2 even now
Club 27 Goals
oh yeah definitely, TF2 was never more popular
red chamber dream
i always hear tons of people in the office talking about playing cs, never tf2 though
red chamber dream
oh ok
Club 27 Goals
just like HotS won't ever be more popular than LoL/dota
Well, no, TF2 did surpass CS Source at one point in popularity.
Club 27 Goals
