StarCraft
This is a /v/ related article, which we tolerate because it's relevant and/or popular on /tg/... or we just can't be bothered to delete it. |
Starcraft is real time strategy video game, made by Blizzard. Despite being THE most balanced RTS ever and South Korean national religion, Starcraft is most famous in neckbeard society for "It's all stolen from WH40K" holy war.
Long story short, there are rumors, denyed by both Blizzerd and GW, that Starcraft at first was developed as WH40K game, until GW for some retarded reasons deny their permission on using 40K universe (like they don't want a part of the bazillion tons of money, Blizzard tend to earn for their games). /v/-fags on their part tend to accuse GW of stealing Blizzard's ideas, which sounds silly at first, until you see the Raveners. /b/-tards tend to laugh on both /v/ and /tg/ and troll them to generate even more delicious copypasta.
To be fair, there is a lot of common in between Starcraft and 40k universe, but if you remove your fanboy glasses it's obviously because both settings are conscienceless rip-offs of the entire sky-fy 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.
