It feels pretty reductive to say something doesn't have original ideas. Pretty much every story has been told in one way or another at this point in history, especially if we get really reductive about it. It doesn't mean things can't be interesting or unique.

    Its Warhammer 10k and it feels like it.

    10k? Well that's pretty original, because I've never heard of it.

    But on a more serious note, it's just too reductive to say "there is nothing original in StarCraft because it feels like Warhammer 40k." All media is inspired by media that came before it. Lion King is similar to Hamlet, does that mean there's nothing original in it?

    Did I miss all the musical numbers in StarCraft? The thing about "inspired by" is you actually have to add new things. StarCraft just has Not Imperium of Man, Not Tyranids, Not Old Ones, and Not Eldar. This is a hill I am more than willing to die on.
