It’s unclear which genre the StarCraft game will be in. Overwatch Mobile has reportedly been referred to internally as “Overwatch 3,”

Another “do you guys not have phones” moment?

I'm just glad Indies are so good nowadays.

At this point I hope they do. They cannot be trusted with any of their IPs.

This isn’t a “do you guys not have phones” moment. This is a “Diablo Immortal made a boatload of money” moment.

Apparently it still brings in several million dollars a month.

Do you have games on your phone?

I wouldn’t say games. I’d say carefully calculated reward dopamine triggers with tendrils snaking directly to the entirety of my liquid assets disguised as games.

I’ve actively tried not to be a Blizzard doomer, but Nexon? I guess wealth extraction is where these IPs are now. Bleh.

Blizzard as it was has been dead for a while now. Jeff Kaplan leaving suddenly was irrefutable proof that OW2 was going to be flaming dogshit and it was and still is.

Nexon making SC? Nice, the new SC will be free, but each unit have 10 level of upgrade and you only have basic unit available, the rest is unlockable as you earn your space buck. Fully upgraded unit have the same stats as the one from SC2. There will be 50 maps to play, but you only can access to 3 each week, and they put map in rotation. Each unit have 20 skins available. New race: the space elf with mushroom people.

What can be StarCraft after they resolved all the lore and arcs?
