History of Games Workshop and Blizzard
I feel like it's a pretty accepted anecdote at this point with wargamers, especially those that play Warhammer(s) or any of Blizzard's video games, that the two feel like they should be interlinked in some way. I've heard all sorts of things; WarCraft 1 was a warhammer game, Starcraft started as a 40k game, Games workshop sued Blizzard for their use of "Space Marine" and lost, thus having to change the name to "Adeptus Astartes". What I've never seen is really any collected proof of these claims, and I'm pretty nosy. Let's try and get to the bottom of it!
