Wait, so Valve tried to register a trademark on DOTA knowing Blizzard DOTA is well into development.... seems a bit underhanded, unless I'm misunderstanding the implications.
He sort of has a point, but I think for the foreseeable future Zynga and WOW will occupy distinctly different markets that aren't competing too much with one another.
I think he's right that in the future the dominant gaming model will be something more similar to Zynga's, but I don't see Zynga's experience making crappy games will give them any sort of head start there, and companies like Blizzard will have no trouble adapting as the landscape shifts.
