      I am kinda convinced there is some high ranking OG blizzard person sabotaging anything related to actual new warcraft/starcraft content to protect the franchises from the Activision/Blizzard merger.

      It doesn't make sense to let countless on the most memorable / loved characters to sit around collecting dust.

      Like they could attach Kerrigan and her already well established story to any remotely good game engine and it would instantly become a top seller.
