The *craft series is the same game with a different coat of paint. The games themselves are actually mediocre, but the sophistication of Battle.Net making it stupidly easy to get online and play with other people at a time when many developers were having trouble is what landed them a homerun. |
Starcraft and Warcraft aren't reven remotely similar past the standards of the genre (producing and controlling units). The games themselves are hardly mediocre.
Starcraft didn't become the most competitive game in the world by being mediocre. It's an extremely well-balanced strategy game with a strong resource and advancement focus. Warcraft 3 was a very unique combination of RPG stat and inventory systems with RTS gameplay, and has one of the best plots in a video game. Unlike Starcraft, it's unit focused.
You clearly know nothing about these games, and I highly recommend you don't continue talking about them lest you go the way of Griffin.
