Interview on www.gamerzines.com:

"GZ: Blizzard has said in the past that there will be premium DLC,
what sort of plans are there for that?

FP: There's no specific time-line for that, but we'd like to have a
marketplace on Battle.net to provide a medium for map makers to get
their content into the hands of the community. Whether map makers,
community heads or the developers themselves, we definitely want to
contemplate better ways to get all that stuff into the community.
We're focusing on a more seamless more way to do it, so that you can
get them through the game client rather than going to a website,
download it and figure out which directory to put the map in etc. We
want it to be integrated and seamless.

Bob Colayco: By giving the users the option to charge for content, we
hope that will motivate people to create better content and more
gameplay mods, that they wouldn't if they were just doing it for fun."





So basically, whoever makes the new DotA will be MILLIONAIRES??!
