u warhammer fanboys are pathetic. starcraft was never going to be a warhammer 40k game. u wanna call it rip off ? do it and sound like idiots but dont say lies
the thing is is that gw and blizzard where going to make a 40k game 50/50 profit split and have it be a game with space marines, tyranids and eldar but some how the contract didn't work out and blizzard ended up making the game by themselves and as to not get in trouble with copy writes they changed the names (S.M. = Tarens Nids= Zerg and Eldar = Protoss) they also changed the story and the units so they technically didn't break any laws just made the biggest freaking rip off in history.
What people need to realize is this yes, starcraft ripped off 40k the blizzard has never denied this. I read this fact in PC gamer ages ago when warcraft 2 came out. The fact is though, they make a great product and they beat the slow as hell GW to the punch and produced a fantastic game. In fairness 40k rips off a lot of old sci-fi novels the "golden throne" isn't their creation everyone rips off everyone get used to it and stop slavishly defending this POS company.
This is becoming a meme argument. You guys sound like Trekkies arguing Kirk/Picard. Nothing about how it was too bad that Ghost got cancelled. Just bickering over which Space Marines came first and who ripped off who. Starcraft was supposed to be moe like Starship Troopers, or mabe AVP, than 40K.
omg guys u prob think warhammer stole ideas from starcraft...BUT the starcraft games came out FIRST!! theres somthing called warhammer table top game for those assholes who dont kno....AND blizzard made starcraft but, gamesworkshop (the ppl behind warhammer for those who dont kno)helped blizzard with most of its audio and some ideas...
thrombox i am so sick and fuc*ing tired of people like you...how about you do a little more research before making claims like that? warhammer 40k has been around since the 80's...starcraft, aliens, and a lot of other sci fi games and movies ripped of warhammer 40k...especially starcraft, gw should sue whoever makes starcraft for copyright infrigment
which game is more awesome?Which makes more benjamins?Answer that and then tell me how great warhammer is.Dude the machanized look has evolved but that's always been the basics of it.You really can't steal a look, at least not such a generic one.Cool but generic.

Yeah, this is true. Even the armor looks somehow alike.
But hey, non the less, Starcraft (RTS) is a great game with a great story :)
