38: Hint: This game helped define its own genre and spawned another genre, and possibly had a hand in making 2 other genres popular.

The only game that I can remember spawing a genre is Warcraft III which spawned MOBAs with Defense of the Ancients

Correct! A great RTS game, spawned Moba genre. Then World of Warcraft was made based off Warcraft, and it popularized MMOs to the masses. Nowadays Mobas, and the new Overwatch (Moba Shooter to me) may popularize the genre further.
