"I must say I am disappointed that Blizzard has stayed on the conservative side in terms of design with their updates to Diablo and Starcraft," he said at the time.

"I have no doubt, however, that they will be incredibly fun, addictive and polished games. Blizzard is the top of the class when it comes to game development - nobody does it better."

After coming under-fire however, the director clearly thought it best to avoid further controversy, Cheng adding a new post asking for Blizzard's 'forgiveness'.
