That's fcking insane for as derivative of a game as it is. Until you look at Starcraft 2, which is just starcraft 1 with a graphics engine overhaul, and how many years that took, and how long it's taking to create an expansion pack* for the stupid fcking game. They have so* much money thanks to WoW that they're turning into the George Lucas of video games: they're insulated, bloated, slow, and out of touch. They're basically pillaging the same 3 IPs that they've had for 20 years now, and the efforts are getting more and more derivative. Blizzard needs to have one or two really good failures in the industry to make it hungry again. To remind them that they can and do fuck up. Sadly, that's not going to happen any time soon. Pretty poor analogy. George Lucas' prequels failed because they deviated so far from the original trilogy. You may call Starcraft II and Diablo 3 derivative, but they stay true to the formulas that made them so popular in the first place. That's the whole point of a sequel. Blizzard has NEVER re-invented the wheel. They have always taken other people's and their own ideas, and polished them to a level that no other company can match. That is why they are successful, and so far, they have not failed.
