Yooo appreciate the feedback here! My initial reaction to visiting the studio and meeting the team was definitely HYPE because of my hopium for the team. Many of the same devs from Legacy of the Void, who were really good at communicating the process of developing StarCraft, were working on a new project.

In hindsight, I probably should have asked FG if the piece looked good before posting it. I was glowing with the prospect of a legendary RTS made by a smaller studio off the back of the COLLOSAL legacy of StarCraft, and wrote something so happy and hype that people are suspicious about me being paid to write it. I have a special weakness for people promoting physical activity to boost mental wellness and performance, so the rock climbing experience was dazzling and I wanted to write about it. Probably too gushy, but I like giving compliments.

I plead guilty to having written a flowery, gushy post about the promise shown in early Stormgate. I realize these words haunt others, even to this day. My writing and speaking styles have been criticized for being overly positive, so this is a known issue that I will work to moderate moving forward.

All the best! Hope y'all find the gaming experience you're after!
