They really should not have won that lawsuit... I have to imagine that they paid to bring it to court, and the production company didn't want to pay to have to defend it, so they just changed the name and the judgement defaulted in favor of Blizzard. I seriously doubt that they would have won an injunction in a real fight over such a simple title to a production that didn't exist in any shape or form versus a movie that was set for imminent release.

I know, but that's not what I meant. I meant they want to make sure when people look up the movie 'diablo' they get referred to blizzard's movie, and not something completely unrelated. That makes a lot of sense, to me. As for the valve thing: You didn't get my point, it has nothing to do with that.

All the words represent an angel / being and thus basically tell you a rough version of what's going to happen in the game. I don't specifically understand all of the interactions between the characters, yet (thought I have 'deciphered' the whole thing).
