But how many people that play StarCraft do you see playing the single player campaign? I would imagine close to none since about 1998 with the availability of battle.net. I don't know, maybe I read into that wrong but I've seen a lot of Blizzard bashing on this forum and it irks me because their games in comparison to others are resoundingly better. (resource gathering... buildings mines, planting merchants... sounds pretty similar)
Hello, sorry I trod on your hobby-horse. If you can point any moment where I was condescending about Blizzard and/or Starcraft I'd be most grateful. Far as I can see all that my post contains is a short list of the most obvious differences between the TW series and Starcraft, both of which I consider brilliant in their own right; it's you who seems to have negative associations in connection to, I quote:

That's not condescending. This post is.
