They do however have a page for anyone who is willing to donate, who will get a custom donator tag and perks, such as the chance to Skype with the developers.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the official <a href=\"http:\/\/upheavalarts.com\/starcraftuniverse\/\" target=\"_blank\">StarCraft Universe site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vtDm2zLP1UU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More StarCraft II news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/50630-bt-games-heart-of-the-swarm-launch-event-stores-confirmed.html\">BT Games Heart of the Swarm launch event stores confirmed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SA Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm invitational tournament announced\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/50518-sa-starcraft-ii-heart-of-the-swarm-invitational-tournament-announced.html\"><strong>SA Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm invitational tournament announced<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/49662-starcraft-ii-heart-of-the-swarm-opneing-cinematic-revealed.html\">Heart of the Swarm opening cinematic revealed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/46583-starcraft-ii-is-dying-no-way-says-blizzard.html\">StarCraft II is dying?
