Blizzard has released a statement regarding the pulled YouTube videos of a StarCraft 2 mod by Ryan Winzen that turned the RTS title in to a game more closely resembling World of Warcraft. While the developer admits that YouTube was asked to kill the videos because of the trademarked name "as part of our process procedure," the mod itself will live on. "As always, they actively encourage development of custom maps and mods," Blizzard says in the statement, and it is "looking forward to seeing the continued development of this mod."
In fact, the company sought out the mod's creator and has "extended an offer to the developer to visit the Blizzard campus and meet with the StarCraft 2 development team." If it desires to hire him, though, they'll have to hurry -- Blizzard isn't the only dev that desires to meet the man. You can read the full statement, send out by Blizzard's Bob Colayco, after the break.
