haha, I did indeed read it but I misunderstood the bit about "optimistically thinking people believe it will be distributed free". In my head this simply translated to redistributing. I actually didn't realise they were remaking it....
But my question still stands. Isnt HoN simply a remake of DOTA? I mean I played it while it was in BETA and most of the characters were the same, with identical gameplay and maps. So is this simply another remake? I almost can't believe it as I don't really see a place in the market for it. ALthough, there are like 1 Billion generic FPS shooter CODlike games out there...so why not?
I believe I speak for alot of people when I say, **** dota, we want Half Life 3.
The thing is dude, this isn't a remake, this IS DoTA. Yes there are a few copies like HoN and LoL but kamaan dude, thiiiiiis iiiiiiiiiiis DOOOOOTA!
I'm guessing they are going to release it for free, just like they did with Alien Swarm. They recruited the Alien Swarm team, remade the game and released it for free.
Even if I have to buy this, I surely will (Keep it on the DL, don't give them any ideas now guys). Valve rocks!
Enough said!
If it isn't free it may split the community though...
