And Warhammer (regular and 40k) all have completely original ideas? I have no sympathy for Games Workshop. They overcharge for their low quality platic figurines. To buy all of the stuff just to get a decent amount of pieces to play with costs massive amounts of money. A starter set, expansions, paints, glue, terrain, individual powerful pieces can add up fast. I could probably buy every single one of Blizzards games and still have money for six months of WoW for the money I see people spend on modest sets.
Blizzard may borrow ideas, but who doesn't. Orcs certainly weren't invented by Blizzard or Warhammer. Neither were Space Marines or ridiculous demons, ratlings etc. etc. At least Blizzard charges reasonable amounts for their games and makes them for Macs as well as PCs.
