@Chazzr be careful with buying this game. I'm a hardcore fan of it but I'm aware there are ppl who do not have the same taste. If ur just an FPS fan, not a RTS fan (although the game is not exactly of RTS genre, u may call it sub-genre of RTS, it will be too long explaining exactly), then u may want to somehow try the game first before buying it.
Cheers!

@Demachine I sooo agree, I am one of them! currently, steam has about 2.5 mil ppl online, when dota 2 launches, it's gonna get to like 9mil in maybe 1 month, and I'm not exaggerating, that's how many ppl playing this game.
and for the developing team, don't worry too much. IceFrog himself -the modder of DotA- have worked alone on developing the content of it for 2 years without payment. Although I believe Valve will really put an effort on this game, it actually doesn't need that much more work on.
let's all enjoy this!
