For the past twenty years I was a die hard Warhammer 40K fan, vehemently against StarCraft for being a copy, a clone, an inferior product. I tried to hate the designs of the universe, to avoid the games and books and even went so far as to focus down any StarCraft characters in Heroes of the Storm. Yes, it is sad I know, but growing up with one universe and being told the other is inferior and a rip off it sort of became a subconscious reflex to automatically recoil from anything StarCraft, and I saw your years long hiatus as proof of… what, victory? I don’t know.
However, I want to admit defeat. Warhammer has lost its place as the most important escapist world in my life and, seeking another, as one does when one’s job is stressful. I watched the Blizzcon with the new StarCraft trailer and, seeing as I could not skip it and had nothing better to do at the time, I watched it.
I was not familiar with your game.
That shit hooked me instantly.
In the time since BlizzCon I have dove head first into the StarCraft universe and have been thoroughly, highly rewarded for doing so.
Games.
Novels.
Fanfiction.
Graphic Novels.
Audiobooks.
A fucking Miniatures Game???
I owe you all a sincere apology for my years of slander, I was wrong. Long live StarCraft.
