Default Re: Blizzard is Unstoppable

And how pissed do you think Games Workshop is? Blizzard has essentially been ripping off every idea GW ever had and has been perfecting it in a video game world. Starcraft is the most obvious piece of plaigerism (sp?) I've ever seen, copying the look and set-pieces of Warhammer 40k down to every last space marine, and GW is left with their collective junk in their hand having stuck to their turn-based ethic for far too long.

Finally, GW is moving forward, but I thinks its far too late. Blizzard has co-opted their world and made it play so well to the populace that GW will likely be accused of copying Blizzard's copy of GW's game world.

Not to take anything away from Blizzard, as they have made fantastic games, but they still ripped off GW's universes.
