Blizzard is right to focus on Overwatch 2 and not a StarCraft shooter

Blizzard has canceled a StarCraft first-person shooter, according to a report for Kotaku. I’m happy about this.

Look, as much as I love Blizzard, Starcraft has always struck me as its least appealing franchise. The whole gritty, space marine sci-fi thing just doesn’t do much for me. But more important, Kotaku notes that no one from Blizzard will be fired as a part of his project’s termination. They will instead transfer over to two other unannounced Blizzard games: Diablo IV and Overwatch 2.
