... And we've clarified that. So we have to say, StarCraft is known for one of the games popularizing the RTS multiplayer, not only in the sense that people want to play that, Warcraft 2 did as well, but also that the StarCraft sold about 10 million copies, which was very good for any RTS game and just any video game in general at the time. ...
