StarCraft could return, according to Blizzard president, but not necessarily as an RTS (www.pcgamer.com)

While Blizzard is very much focussed on its big money-makers like its various Warcraft games, from WoW to Hearthstone to Warcraft Rumble, as well as Diablo and the much-maligned Overwatch 2, he's still open to StarCraft making a comeback. That said, RTS fans shouldn't get their hopes up. While the series might return, that doesn't necessarily mean it will be an RTS, and whatever shape it takes will depend on the person or team who goes to bat for it.

"It's not me saying, 'Go make a StarCraft game,'" Ybarra told Bloomberg. "I need to have someone who has the vision and passion that comes with the idea, and I'll bet on that team."

A vision and passion he - according to his own words - clearly does not have. ๐Ÿ˜‘

Blizzard died a long time ago.

Yeah, let's not forget that Blizzard was bought by Activision and Activision was just bought by Microsoft.

There is no "Blizzard", just Microsoft.

I genuinely have more faith in Microsoft than Activision.

I don't have any empirical evidence, but for some reason I do.
