Go talk to the guys that own the Alien franchise about this gross copyright infringement. I'm sure you can persuade them to split the profits after they sue the pants off of Blizzard. You're not the first person to have noticed this but maybe you'll be the one that has the guts to do something about this. Blizzard have gone on long enough ripping off of other games, series', you name it. It's time somewhat put a stop to their gross abuse.

Be the 1%, Blazefury01. It's even in your name. You can do it.

What are you 12? Do you live in a bubble or something? I can't imagine anything else that would make that line of thought

Not only the references, they stole scenes, images and the storyline.

You need to send emails! Everywhere!
Obviously everyone they ripped off somehow failed to notice it, even though starcraft was an incredibly popular game for years after its release. It is you, blaze, only you that can right this wrong, this grievous injustice.
God... to think the game I loved... was the product of THEFT AND VILLAINY!
I'll go cry in a corner now

edit: Also I just noticed that avatar is a complete rip-off of pocahontas! Its EVERYWHERE!

Yeah, just b/c it references Aliens a lot doesn't make it a total rip off. Whenever I play Terran I repeatedly click on my ravens just to hear "This vessel has assumed control...."

. Doesn't mean Blizzard ripped off 2112, it just means that they have fans of the Rock Deities themselves on staff

Actually Blizzard stole most of the lore and inspiration for the races from warhammer 40k. If you don't belive me read some lore about the warhammer races and compare to that of the Protoss/Terran/Zerg
