Near bottom, where they talk about custom maps. Watch the custom maps list.
It's simply an example, as it is one of the most popular WC3 maps. Nothing more.
You guys don't know blizzard. If they show something, it means they're doing it. Plus the list is a mix from classic blizzard-made, epic fan-made and unknown custom maps. Sure it's an example, but blizzard has always had the habit of revealing stuff like that.
SCII forum moderator said that this was just an example of possible game titles that could be possible in StarCraft II Map Editor, nothing more.
How about the original World of Warcraft? (im talking about the adventure game, not the MMO).
Yes, i know its called Warcraft Adventures now, back when i first heard about it, they called it World of Warcraft. Kinda obvious why it needed a namechange deed.
Not even blizzard are lame/stupid enough to call an ADVENTURE game set in the WARCRAFT universe Warcraft Adventures, back when they were respectable the game had a real name.
Of course they mention the best custom map for the WC3 engine.
If icefrog was allright with S2 making a dota like game, why wouldn't he agree on something similar from blizzard?
Icefrog doesn't have to "be alright" with anyone, seeing as he doesn't own anything. Blizzard owns all the copyrights to all of DotA. S2 asked Icefrog just to be on good terms. What do you think would happen if Blizzard just swooped in and took over DotA under Icefrog's nose, all of his followers would be outraged.
Because Blizzard is probably busy with SC2, D3, WoW Addon and that next-gen-MMO already?
They are gonna make so much money.
The three first titles, SC2, D3 & WoW are already some of the most popular games in their genre, and without a doubt, Blizzards next-gen MMO will be so massive everything will be dust compared to it.
Yes, it's probably over the top but I can't stop thinking what incredible things Blizzard can do with todays hard&software compared to when SC/D1(2) & WoW was made.
