It's Valve time.
"Being honest, I don't know how DOTA got as big as it did, given how hard it is to sit down and play it with your friends," says Erik Johnson, the man charged by Valve boss Gabe Newell with the task of heading up the Dota 2 project.
Erik is absolutely right. Defense of the Ancients, the Warcraft 3 mod maintained and developed by the reclusive IceFrog, is virtually impenetrable. (You can bone up on the basics and history in our Story of DOTA.) Millions, possibly tens of millions play it, but for some it remains an incomprehensible curiosity: a game they're aware of, but not playing.
Valve hopes to change all that.
