May 21 - Blizzard, a Vivendi subsidiary, has officially announced their latest project, Starcraft 2. In the past, Blizzard managed to have 2 massively popular RTS series, Starcraft and Warcraft.
Warcraft eventually spawned the MMORPG, (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) World of Warcraft, which has gone on to be one of the most successful games of all time.
It currently has over 8 million subscribers, each paying $15 a month.
