I think most guys of my age will be quite familiar with Blizzard company and EA (Electronic Arts).
The products of these two companies has accompanied us with our middle school, high school, and even today.
Just an hour ago, I was surfing in the space world created by Mass Effect from EA. I have to say that both of the two giants in video game world is still important to teenager's world today.They are both so important but distinct so obviously.
Blizzard mostly focused on RTS (Real-Time Strategy) Games, such as Starcraft, Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2. The internet platforms such as Garena (known as GG), Stream and other local platforms really gathered the gamers all over the world, which eventually pushed these games to the peak of success. Even since the year of 1993 when Starcraft was released, the successing step of Blizzard became almost unstoppable. It is unbelievable that Starcraft remained popular for ten years, until the first phase of Starcraft II was released. Asian gamers, especially Korean gamers was obssessed with this game.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Blizzard threw another bomb on the game market, THE Warcraft III, Frozen Throne. This raised another tide of Asian RTS gamers. This time, the Chinese gamers are winners. Many Asian gamers have won the WCG champion for Warcraft III.
Besides RTS games, Blizzard also gained great success on its MMOG (Massive Multiplayer Online Game), World of Warcraft. Up till now, World of Warcraft is still the most successful MMOG in the world.
