The Warcraft video game franchise from Blizzard Entertainment is now 22 years old. The most successful game
in this series has been World of Warcraft (WOW ), a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. According to
Blizzard, over 100 million subscribers have played WOW. The extremely popular spinoff game DOTA (Defense of the
Ancients) is also played at some of the biggest gaming competitions in the world.
Over the years, WOW has been considered by many people to be more than just a ga me. It has also been seen as a
training ground for real-life business leaders. Players in WOW join together in large teams, called guilds. A player who
wishes to be a successful leader, or “master,” of a team must learn how to attract new players to the group, evaluate
each player, and arrange for him or her to be taught by experienced players. In addition, the leader must settle any
quarrels that develop between team members and oversee development of strategies that the team will use to defeat its
opponents. The lessons the leader learns through the game can be applied in real life.
A Warcraft film, in development since 2006, hits theaters this month. Its plot focuses on the arrival of Orcs
looking to build a colony in the realm of humans and the conflict that arises between the two groups. Video-game fans
