This 2006 promotion contains a number of sources that would no longer be accepted at FAC. From a quick glance, CreepColony, sclegacy.com, Operation CWAL, soundtrack collector, game genie, and mobygames should all almost certainly be replaced, and there are several others that I think are likely dubious but I'm not familiar with. The sequel of StarCraft II likely also warrants somewhat more discussion, and there are lesser issues such as weird italicization of "factions", and items that need checked for updating or have an as of date added, such as "The balance stays complete via infrequent patches (game updates) provided by Blizzard".

- Comment: I'd add that StarCraft is one of the best-covered games ever released, and that simply isn't reflected in the article. The small size of the Development section, and the lack of an in-depth Sales section (despite an overwhelming amount of global sales information), is proof enough. This was adequate for 2006, but it's not comprehensive enough for today. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 21:32, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
