WoW held up StarCraft 2 progress
It’s just not Blizzard’s day today, is it? Word comes from Eurogamer that the studio held up the release of its highly anticipated sequel to StarCraft for World of Warcraft.
Rob Pardo told the site that development on the sequel had begun in 2003 and that there had been a playable build since 2005. However, it was held up due to the appearance of World of Warcraft which saw a fair amount of the design team moving to MMO project to help finish the game.
Apparently, these people had lots of great experience and had knowledge and know-how to fix map editor problems, as well as dealing with balancing.
Now you know who to hate for holding up StarCraft 2. The original was released back in 1998. It’s been eleven years since then.
