Editing StarCraft

{{/vg/}}
__NOTOC__

[[StarCraft]] is Real Time Strategy [[video game]], made by [[Blizzard]]. Despite being THE most balanced RTS ever and the South Korean national religion, [[StarCraft]] is most famous in [[neckbeard]] society for the "It's all stolen from [[Warhammer 40000|WH40K]]" holy war.

Long story short, there are rumors, denied by both Blizzard and [[GW]], that StarCraft at first was developed as WH40K game, until GW for some retarded reason rescind their permission on using the 40K universe (like they don't want a part of the bazillion tons of money Blizzard tend to earn for their games). [[/v/]] tends to accuse GW of stealing Blizzard's ideas, which sounds silly at first, until you see the Raveners. [[/b/tards]] tend to laugh at both /v/ and [[/tg/]] and troll them to generate even more delicious copypasta.

To be fair, there is a lot in common between Starcraft and the 40k universe; but if you remove your fanboy glasses it's obviously because both settings are conscienceless rip-offs of the entire sci-fi genre with less then 0.1% original content - it's not like there weren't human space marines, ravenous, rapidly adaptable bug monsters, and psychic alien warriors before 40K. Deep inside your heart you know it. Also, a rather funny thing about is that GW has admitted to based the current Tyranid's are based off the designs of the Zerg in Starcraft (prior to this game, the nids looked very different, as in, they looked sillier than the Space Marines do now).

TL/DR: If you're a fan of 40k or SC, stop bitching about all that "stolen" shit. It's a mark of fool doing that, and by doing that you make all your fellow fans look retarded.
