Darmik 08/08/19 8:24:20 PM #1:	https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/1159558927480229893 A couple of months ago, we reported that Blizzard had canceled a planned StarCraft first-person shooter. Today's Activision Blizzard financial report makes it clear that they have lost all interest in StarCraft It wasn't mentioned as a series they're working on or intend to work on.

Gamerguymass 08/08/19 8:29:57 PM #6:	I had never played Starcraft before so when Starcraft 2 had come out i was interest in playing it to see what all the fuss was about. Then I found out it was a years long wait for the expansion and then they expected me to pay 60 bucks for a fucking expansion. Then do it again in another few years. So I pretty much just said "I'm good." --- Now Playing: "The Hunt for the Two Missing Nintendo 64 Games" An expansion came out, but I'm still a third of the way through! <cite>Gamerguymass posted [p:925816488] in StarCraft ...
