Your logic......Reality

so far apart

Quoted for great justice.

I'm not really sure what that means..I'm not really sure what I said that seems so far from "reality"...I wasn't talking about black holes or inter dimension travel I was talking about a video game designer called blizzard and some "urban legends" people have been talking about..

So I've decided to make this thread in response to all the "Blizzard copied Warhammer" urban myths. My question is, why the heck would Blizzard start Warcraft games and Starcraft Games to be Warhammer titles without even having the license in the first place.

It just doesn't add up to me..I mean, if Blizzard lost their rights or didn't have rights to warhammer in the first place while making warcraft would they then turn and say oh well you know what I'm just going to make warhammer 40k and hope that we some how secure the rights to the franchise this time around. It just sounds simply illogical and blizzard is not that stupid.

It seems that the only thing people could say that was really copied was common fantasy archetypes and I'm sorry but warhammer didn't not create elves and dwarfs. Blizzard guys probably all played DnD and Warhammer games and got inspiration but in no way did they try and make a warhammer game two times to have their license revoked.

Not everything is peach and roses behind the NDA. *Hides behind the NDA*Vandalvideo

The NDA is down! You're free!

Nah Blizzard is releasing SC2 and Diablo 3, they don't care as much now after they've been wiping their a**** with dollar-bills for the last 4 years.Blommen

Yes, blizzard has been successful, but they do create great games and give the players a great service for their money...That is why I respect them as well as valve and for the same reason I hate EA and am starting to not like activision

Despite the popular belief that blizzard "copied warhammer" that simply cannot be true..why would blizzard start on warhammer game without even having the license? They aren't a bunch of idiots.. Yes, their games have some common elements, they both have orcs and humans and dwarfs, but so do many other fantasy worlds and blizzard isn't just going to not use those cool creatures in their games.

Blizzard games are known for their great gameplay and superb polish, which was not taken from the warhammer universe. With Mythic being controlled by EA they are already releasing the game when it could use 6 more months of polish. Dawn of war 2 and Starcraft 2 are completely different types of RTS and will attract different audiences.

Final Word

Warhammer Online will not topple WoW and even if it does they are already working on a new MMO

Dawn of War 2 will be great but will not have the same balance and micro/macro to take away starcraft 2's competitive audience..

Diablo 3 has no "warhammer" rival
