We all know that the mod was perhaps to good in their eyes, hence the concern. Please, as if they were worried about the name, it's perfectly clear that this excuse of "it being to close to world of warcraft" is utter bull. well you people had no problem naming starcraft after warcraft came out.
Sadly for them, the internet heard all about this before they could get rid of it, and hence they have to now allow it to go froward and hence we receive this statement that gives them a perfect excuse to do so.
They just asked the developer to change the mod from World of Starcraft to something else. What's the big deal? It's their IP, they have a right to protect it.
That sounds like a ridiculous conspiracy theory based off of nothing but pure speculation.
PR nonsense? Nope, not buying that.
Blizzard is one of the last few game companies to embrace mods. I doubt they felt the need to go into PR mode to save face in front of the internet-rage jury. More than likely, this is just another thing that was a misunderstanding, turned PR nightmare by lawyers.
Besides, this is the Blizzard side of Acti/Bliz, not Activision.
Hell, I'd play it. The reason I could never get into WoW is because I hate fantasy worlds. Give me Sci-Fi any day.
