I'm of two minds on this.
I don't mind the StarCraft IP being licensed if the game quality is good. But it's Nexon, and their track record for gacha elements in games isn't great. I'm very cautiously optimistic.
But if they do a StarCraft/Blue Archive crossover I might just have to barf up a lung....
STARCRAFT X BLUEARCHIVE HYPE

I've been thinking for a while that RTS devs have to spend thousands of hours building a game engine when the sc2 game engine really is all you need...
This IP licensing -- How likely is it that the SC2 game engine could be licensed out to other companies to make very high quality RTS games? Also, is this a possibility with Nexon?

Short answer, yes. Long answer, sort of...

Oof, thanks for posting this. Nexon is bad, bad news. Super janky, greedy history with maplestory, and a bad history of gacha games. Ugh. I'm honestly hesitant to believe this is even happening given the lack of suppor too sc2, but if it does, then godspeed.

If they can NOT make a gacha game I will be reasonable lukewarm on this news. If they make gold, maybe its a redemption arc no one sees coming.

anohter good IP gets Candy-crushed 😵

I'm struggling to see the correlation between SC players and Candy Crushers.

Plenty of people "like" drugs and gambling. It's not good, period.
That being said, there is of course the chance they will make something good. The chance for that happening are just abysmally low.

To be fair, StarCraft Brood War is addictive enough on its own merit. You know it's true.

I don’t think it’s that important or impactful really, least for what I want.
If it’s super successful I’m still not sure it moves the needle on an SC3. Equally if it bombs I don’t think it inhibits it either.

Can't wait to see what they do with this.

Please dont be a 4x 'town' game...
Kind of bummed out that King isnt making the mobile game they are already a part of the company. A Starcraft candycrush would have been lit

Honestly they should treat StarCraft like any of the big franchises such as Star Wars or Marvel. But keep the budgets mid, and just crank out a couple or three fantastic games completely separate in genre, tone or whatever they want.
- First person SCV offworld mining game, Mass Effect style romance on a remote outpost. Farther the player goes the more dangerous but better minerals and abandoned Refineries. Maybe no actual Zerg or Protoss but remnants, local dangerous wildlife and magma or even ice volcanoes as danger as well.
- Star Fox style single player game using an assortment of Wraith's, Ravens, Vikings
- Traditional RTS StarCraft but only multiplayer or only campaigns. Keep it robust but not too much feature creep.
