Blizzard OKs"World of Starcraft" Mod

· by John Ponio

The other day we posted about a StarCraft modder whose video got a letter from Blizzard saying to take it down. Since then Blizzard has said that “It was never our intention to stop development on the mod or discourage the community from expressing their creativity through the StarCraft II editor. As always, we actively encourage development of custom maps and mods forStarCraft II, as we’ve done with our strategy games in the past.” The modder, Ryan Winzen, has been invited to Blizzard’s campus to meet StarCraft II’s development team.
