In this episode of Branching Factor, Tommy and Mike sit down to celebrate 10 years of Dota 2. A game that Mike has thousands of hours in, and one that Tommy has observed with great interest, but has only played it for 87 minutes according to his Steam profile. So what better excuse than to mash these two people together to talk all about it! We discuss its origins, its impact on the games industry, and how its influence on AI persists despite the big headline news being in the rear-view mirror.  -- Use our promo code with NordVPN for an exclusive discount, complete with a 30-day money-back guarantee! http://www.nordvpn.com/aiandgames -- Got a question or comment?
