StarCraft MMO Would be "Difficult"

StarCraft II Interview on VideoGamer.com recaps a conversation with Blizzard cofounder Frank Pearce about the RTS sequel that took place at the Games Convention in Leipzig. They extract three of the most salient bits, one being the chance of console StarCraft II 'very close to zero', another that they still can't predict a release date (stop the presses!), and the perhaps counterintuitive thought that Blizzard's success with World of Warcraft makes a StarCraft MMO "difficult", though it doesn't seem that they are ruling anything out:

The StarCraft universe is really rich, and it's got a lot of cool stuff in it that could be leveraged for any number of different genres. A big factor would be what the development teams want to work on. When the StarCraft II team is done with StarCraft II, a factor is what they want to work on next, because the development teams plays a big role in deciding what they're going to do. So if there was a development team that was really passionate about leveraging the StarCraft universe for a different genre then that's something we would seriously consider.

    Yeah there is a 40k mmo but it's being done by some of those from the Tabula Rasa team. And much to my dismay they are not going to follow the Planetside model.
Yeah I too heard that there is a 40K MMO in the makes, but it has never been officialy "unveiled" and as far as I know there is 0 info on the net about it. So I would really, REALLY like to know where you got your info from ShadyPete?

I have a nifty blue line!

Just change the skins in WoW - change the names of all in game items. Done done and done.

The cause of all these evils was the lust for power arising from greed and ambition; and from these passions proceeded the violence of parties once engaged in contention.
In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.

The only reason I can think of for them to -not- make a Starcraft MMO is that they can't find anywhere big enough to store all the money they'd make.

Shouldn't it be 'StarCraft MMO Would be "Difficult" instead of StarCraft II MMO, seeing as there isn't StarCraft MMO 1, and they don't talk about a RTS MMO version of StarCraft 2?

Uh, they are working on the WH 40k MMO, right? More than you can say for a StarCraft MMO.
Truth is brutal. Prepare for pain.
