Blizzard announce the end to major development updates to Starcraft 2 – Why is this big news?
StarCraft, being a very nostalgic and important franchise in the whole of Blizzard, is dear to many, especially RTS (Real-Time Strategy) fans. This year, StarCraft is celebrating its 10-year anniversary. And with it, Blizzard have released one of the largest-ever patches. This included upgrades to the map editor, as well as gameplay improvements to players all around the world.
This is sad news for the entirety of the StarCraft 2 community, but as Blizzard put it, this opens up a lot more opportunities for them to focus on the StarCraft universe as a whole.
