Blizzard es mi inspiracion como empresa, soy un desarrollador de videojuegos independientes y ustedes son parte de mi gran sueño, Amo sus franquicias pero la que mas amo es la de STARCRAFT, lo juego desde que tenia 7 años, espero algún día poder ir a un blizzcon, quisiera conocer a los miembros del staff!.
