The battle of Blizzards fans
Written by Rushy

Blizzard is one of the best real time strategy and role playing game developers. Every time you turn around you hear their fans complaining that their game isn't in the spotlight. Keep in mind these are not your hardcore Blizzard fans. These are your average gamers that fell in love with Warcraft , Starcraft ,or Diablo , but cant stand the other games Blizzard makes. Or did most Starcraft fans never get into Warcraft because it was old when they started playing.
So do Starcraft fans really hate Warcraft or do they just not know the glory of Warcraft because of how old it is? In my opinion its because they were not playing Warcraft back in its glory days when it was "the game to play". People don't relies that Warcraft was the Starcraft of its day, that it owned the charts for years like Starcraft has. Warcraft community has suffered because it’s been a long time since a Warcraft game was made. When Starcraft was being made people were mad because Warcraft 3 wasn't being made. Even though the Starcraft fan in me says I would rather have Starcraft 2 I say let’s go back into Warcraft and wait for sc2. Why should I wait for Starcraft 2 you say I want it now. My question to you is would you rather have a revolutionary Starcraft 2 that breaks the barriers of all real time strategy games or just new units?
Why do people still complain that Warcraft 3 is being made along with World of Warcraft but Blizzard still hasn't even mentioned to Starcraft 2. This is a old fight that's been going on for quite some time, but amazingly Blizzard fans are still fighting about it. Some Starcraft fans even fool them self's into believing the Blizzard is secretly making sc2, even though all signs say there not. What these people base these suspicions on is pure madness. A story I hear all the time is about that email sent to Starcraft gateway under a Blizzard email addressee of an outline for blizzard 2 with xel naga coming back as a playable race. Why is this not believable to me? For a few reasons. One it is easy to make your addressee look like a Blizzard email its called pop 3 email accounts. They make it look like you come from the CIA if you want. Second why would Blizzard only add one more race and a few units doesn't make sense to me a small Starcraft 2 with only 3 races I don't believe would happen.
World of Warcraft even Warcraft fans are a bit shaky on this one because its not a rts. Its a massive online multiplayer role playing game like ever crack. Considering the fact most hardcore Warcraft and Starcraft fans are anti rpg and are dead set on only real time strategy games makes them very unsure of it. But they seem to welcome it because their game is in the spotlight and will be for longer with wow. There are some that don't view it like that these are people that say Diablo isn't a real game all it douse is diminish your brain with nonsense.
For some reason even though Diablo 2 is the most popular weapon in blizzards arsenal of games, it is also the most hated. It also seems to have less of a fan voice. Well people love this game including me. They don't seem to have the fan dedication to it near as much as the other games. I think alot of it has to do with the fact that you are not playing some one you are playing against a computer. You are all working together to fight Diablo and not fighting against each other, giving you no real sence of accomplishment in the end all you did was what the game wanted you to do. Were as rts games you can beat your friends. See who’s smarter, more cunning, and more brilliant in the strategic sense. I believe this is why Diablo gets such a bad rep. I do not believe it is a bad game it just doesn't have the head to head competition that makes Warcraft and Starcraft the great games they are.
I think all blizzard fans should just get along and stop bad mouthing eacth others games and learn that each has its good points and its bad points. For those of you fighting for sc2, but talk trash of Warcraft I hope you try Warcraft 3 when it comes out I promise Blizzard wont disappoint you. To all those against Diablo just realize it’s a different genre of games you don't have to like it just respect it
