StarCraft MMO prospect "scary"
Pearce plays down possibility
Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce has been speaking with the gaming press at the Games Convention in Leipzig, the game maker playing down the prospect of a StarCraft MMO title.
Pearce told Videogamer the idea of such an undertaking was "overwhelming" and "scary".
"We’ve made it very difficult for ourselves and it’s an overwhelming thought," the designer admitted.
"I’ve been there at Blizzard since we started on WoW and it’s been a very long and arduous journey. And to think about taking that journey again with the StarCraft franchise is a little scary. It makes an RTS like Starcraft 2 seem very achievable."
So, no World of StarCraft anytime soon.
