It appears that Starcraft II’s mod tools, which are powerful enough to allow users to turn the strategy title into things like survival horror games, are powerful enough to allow it to become an MMO in the style of Blizzard’s other big money-spinner, World of Warcraft.
It’s still early days on the project, but for an idea on how things are progressing, check out the trailer below.

Thursday, January 20, 2011 at 1:30 AMHappy I saw the video before those activision assholes threw the copyright hammer at it. I hope it’s just because of the name rather than the concept. If they stop the poor guy from making the mod full stop (even with a name change) then may the geeks of the internet unleash hell.
