Why Fan Projects and Official Games Are Kept Apart on This Site

The Dota 2 Mobile fan project notes on the homepage give the short version, and this guide gives the full reasoning, for reasons of honesty, safety, and respect for the rights holder: the fan project and the official game are kept apart.

Honesty First

A file link would say more than words ever could. It would suggest that Dota 2 Mobile is an approved product, that it is safe to install, and that this site stands behind it. None of those suggestions would be true. Dota 2 Mobile is unofficial, and this site will not imply otherwise. The Dota 2 Mobile fan project explained guide sets out what the project is, so readers can judge it without a file in front of them.

Safety Second

Unofficial mobile files from unknown sources are a known route for harmful software, and they can put accounts at risk when they ask for login details. A site that cares about its readers does not send them toward that risk for the sake of a click. Reading about a community project costs nothing and risks nothing. Installing an unknown file is a different decision entirely, and it should never be dressed up as a casual one.

Respect for the Rights Holder

Valve owns Dota 2. Respect for that ownership sits alongside the site's standing commitment: content will be removed promptly on request from the rights holder. The general difference between fan work and official games is covered in how fan projects differ from official games.

What You Get Instead

You get information you can trust: clear explanations, honest comparisons, and guides to the real game on PC.
