      10k? Well that’s pretty original, because I’ve never heard of it.

      But on a more serious note, it’s just too reductive to say “there is nothing original in StarCraft because it feels like Warhammer 40k.” All media is inspired by media that came before it. Lion King is similar to Hamlet, does that mean there’s nothing original in it?

        Did I miss all the musical numbers in StarCraft? The thing about “inspired by” is you actually have to add new things. StarCraft just has Not Imperium of Man, Not Tyranids, Not Old Ones, and Not Eldar. This is a hill I am more than willing to die on.

          Mm, so the only thing that can make something original is the playable factions. Noted. Indeed a weird hill to die on.
