Starcraft Ghost... De-canceled?
I am one of many gay gamers that has a fundimentally straight friend base, especially in the gamer catagory. Years ago, the "cancellation" of Starcraft: Ghost was as close as I could get to the destruction of Alderaan. I was a little disappointed, but I guess my lack of "emotional attachment" to the main protagonist limits the appeal for me.
Oddly, several users noticed that the canceled games list was missing this title. When asked to explain, Frank Pearce co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment had this to say.
It never was technically canceled. It’s just a focus thing for us right now. We’ve got a finite amount of development resources and a lot of different things that we want to focus on so there’s always the possibility, but right now we’re spending our time on “World of Warcraft” and our expansion “Wrath of the Lich King” and “StarCraft II.”
This does not actually say anything about the game itself, except that it is on the chopping block but the executioner is having a moral crisis.

The only emotional attachment I had to this game was when Blizzard bought purchased Swinging Ape Studios to work on the game. As a huge fan of Metal Arms, I was really eager to see what the team's next project would be. But I'm not sure we're every going to see it.
