Dota 2 is one of most-played game on Steam
2019年03月23日
Potentially the latest in a line of multiplayer Valve games derived from user-created mods, the Dota 2 publisher may be looking to acquire the game’s popular new Auto Chess mod and transform it into its own stand-alone title. While the publisher hasn’t released a fully-fledged new experience since 2012’s Counter Strike: Global Offensive, this could be encouraging news for players desperate for Valve to return to the world of game development.
This free custom game turns Dota 2 into a slower, more strategic experience, as the name suggests. It is so popular right now that rumours are starting to appear that Valve wants to acquire Dota Auto Chess from the creators and make it a Valve title. Remember that DotA started as a mod in Warcraft III, while even Counter-Strike’s origins can be traced back to a Half-Life mod. Therefore, it really isn’t much of a stretch to think that Valve could acquire the incredibly popular Dota Auto Chess.
While it sounds like a neat concept, it’s hard to know what the staying power of this new fad will be. In the ever-evolving video game industry, nobody wants to be left behind, and Valve may look more than a little behind-the-times if they spend a year developing a game from which everyone has already moved on.

With the promise of cultivating a successful community and player base for Artifact within a few months of launching gone, Valve now has a choice to make. If the developer acquires the full rights to Auto Chess and hires the team responsible for it, does it put all of its resources into that basket? This could potentially lead to them taking funding or people from the Artifact team and making the decision to focus on the thing that already took off.
Dota 2 has surged back onto the top of Steam’s most-played list largely in part thanks to both the ongoing Dota Pro Circuit and Auto Chess. At the time of writing this article, there are 306,962 active users playing Dota 2 according to Steam Charts. With tournaments like the TwitchRivals Dota 2 Auto Chess Showdown popping up more frequently and top players of other games coming over to play the mod, there is not a foreseeable ceiling for this once hidden gem.
Auto Chess tournaments seem very realistic at this moment, there are a bunch of players asking about Auto Chess tournaments on Twitter as well. So what's next? Valve's official Auto Chess and a million dollar tournament for it? We will have one E-sports game that's not team-based. Sounds good to me but don't get your hopes up just yet.
