[Tinman]

Well, Blizzard owns everything created in the StarCraft II map editor, including this.

Now the fans also have something to keep them busy until Diablo 3 comes out in 2015

Here is a link to a story about the video removal:

So far it looks like Blizzard is only removing the video and hasn't done anything about stopping development on the mod.

Blizzard has stated that their new MMO is based on a completely new IP.

i call bullshit, if it was they would've let this be.

this stunt proves it's most likely based on SC.

i say to them


prove me wrong

It's been known for awhile now that the new MMO is called Titan and is reported to be an MmoFPS

that sc shooter that never came to life... might turn up as a mmo in the future.

I've never known Blizzard to be a greedy company but I find this insanely disappointing. Maybe it's Activision, but you can't do shit like this.

as long it's their IP they can do what they like. however, thinking back to the initial days of modding and the shitloads of TCs we had with quake and doom, no real harm was ever done.

Read the article again guys. It's not Blizzard pulling the strings ... it's Activision doing what they do best - being anti-gaming-community tards. I know the author penned the letter for Blizzard's attention ... but I'm willing to lay bets that Activision is standing behind Blizzard, shouting "WE DON'T LIKE WHERE THIS IS GOING!!"

The IP belongs to Blizzard, sure enough ... but, well ... we saw how well that worked for Infinity Ward.

So Blizzard had an issue with the name of the mod, and not the mod itself.

And now the bloke's got himself an oppurtunity to work at Riot Games - how epic is that. I honestly think creating games is more about passion than skill. Skills are needed, obviously, but if you don't really care about what you create it'll never be great.

 

[medicnick83]

I think they maybe stopped this because they are developing something themselves that would rivel this.

Doubtful. Blizzard has already stated that their new MMO is based on a new IP and not one of their existing IP's.
