>Blizzard literally aped games workshop
Blizzard was making a 40k game but then there was a disagreement and they ended up repurposing the assets to make StarCraft. Same way Titan was canceled and the assets were repurposed to make Overwatch. What's funny is that everyone looks at the StarCraft designs and thinks that it's a blatant ripoff, but when it first came out, Tyranids looked like this. StarCraft creative design had as big of an impact on the development of 40k as the other way around.
Same deal with Warcraft and D&D. Blizzard is the source of the now-popular perception of orcs as giant green noble savages. Prior to Orcs & Humans, orcs were generally depicted as stocky brown pig-men.
