I would honestly say that the original warcraft had a larger impact on the video game industry than world of warcraft ever has.
Warcraft: Orcs and Humans (which I still have an original copy of sitting on my desk) revolutionized the entire RTS game genre. Without it, there would not be starcraft, there would not be command and conquer, there would not be any of the top-down strategy games we currently play.

I agree with Coriko, Freelancer(and the Discovery Mod) for me has changed my world the most out of any game.

Their list is a bit too short, I think, but they're looking at games which affected the world in general, not just gamers (even casual gamers). Doom has gotten a lot of mention over the years, on the news and other such places. Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution are amazingly popular among people who otherwise don't play any computer/console games. WoW is amazingly popular and everyone's heard of it. I'd bet a lot of WoW players don't even know there was an old RTS Warcraft game...
Games which changed the game industry is an entirely different subject.

This is a pretty conservative list and obviously isn't written by anyone with any real knowledge of gaming. I guess it's fair enough though, since games that changed the world and games which changed the world of gamers are very different things.
