Im not the one saying "ripped off". Im saying payed homage and in that respect linken is a perfect example. You look at this as some kind of stealing where as I look at it as paying homage to a great idea.

[Hamshank]

The link thing is paying a homage as an easter egg. This game needs a totally unique plot line and gameplay. I wouldn't encourage to blatantly copying an idea because it's cool, that's not original.

[ArcherofAiur]

Why does everything have to be original? Are orcs original?

[Hamshank]

No, did I say I like orcs?
They're another overused cliche. Looks at original works like 1984, something that is very mainstream, I'm sure you know of it.

You can't just rehash the same material over and over again or it loses it's beauty

I beg to differ, StarCraft II itself is a rehash, and it never looked more beautiful in my eyes. Blizzard thrives off rehashing. If your looking for originality, look somewhere else.

About the whole paying homage argument.

I've always hated Star Wars.

I've always hated Star Wars.

Case and point, more people who watch Star Wars like it more than hate it. So I don't see how you expect StarCraft II to change.
... thats not regarding the critters in SC2 (I think its a long shot), just the lore in general.
