StarCraft Ghost Developer Dropped From Project?

Posted by simoniker on from the trouble-in-paradise dept.

Thanks to HomeLAN Fed for its news story revealing StarCraft: Ghost developer Nihilistic is no longer attached to the still-in-development tactical action game. According to an official Blizzard statement: "Nihilistic has completed its contribution on StarCraft: Ghost. They are contracted to begin work on another project in the months ahead. Due to the requirements of that obligation and the delay of StarCraft, it was mutually determined that now would be the best time for them to complete their work." The PS2/Xbox/GameCube title was announced as delayed late last week, at which point Blizzard simply stated: "We plan to build additional time into the schedule to polish the game."

    No wonder he was fired, ghost developers tend to be outdated. They kinda stop in time. And they scare co-workers...

    *ducks*

  2. Point Proven - Starcraft II by Bonewalker · · Score: 2, Funny
    Dear Mr. Blizzard,

    You have proven your point that you are not all about the dollars. Rather than take one of the best-selling, most awarded games (Starcraft) of all time and simply churn out a crappy sequel a year later to make money, you have waited patiently. It's been 6 years, you've been so patient.

    We believe you. It is not about the money!

    Now, having said that, when can we expect a highly updated, super-fun, Starcraft II?

    Sincerely,

    A Believer
