So it's StarCraft?

Looking at these screen shots, someone could have told me it's fan art of Raynor's Raiders and I would absolutely would have believed them. Will a future expansion add a race of telepathic religious zealots who desperately require MORE PYLONS!

Warhammer came out in like the 70s.

Wasn't Starcraft originally developed to be a 40k title or is that just a meme?

just a meme. Starcraft was never intended to be a a 40k game. That said, after starcraft released, Games workshop did redesign the tyranids to look more bugy and less dinosaury.

My friend's wife was a producer on Starcraft 2 when it was in development. One of her jobs was to watch and read a ton of science fiction content to get inspiration for the universe. I remember my friend telling me she was binging Battlestar Galactica for work.

Just like 40k draws inspiration from Dredd and Heinlein, Starcraft gets inspiration from 40k and a tone of other IPs.

Blizzard were working on a game called Nomad based on Necromunda during starcraft's development. But it was scrapped. We almost had three blizzard games based on warhammer. Blizzards business model basically consisted of mining Warhammer stuff to make video games back then lol

you realize warhammer predates starcraft by decades, blizzard ripped off warhammer

some people think Blizzard created every game standard ever. In reality they copied most of their successful titles straight from GW.
