After just over a day of being on sale, Blizzard posted a tweet indicating that StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void has managed to sell a million copies.

DSO Gaming spotted the tweet from the official StarCraft Twitter account, where they rolled out the following info.

Thanks for making the launch of #LotV a success! We’ll see you in the Koprulu Sector, Commanders! pic.twitter.com/mqye4JEOdp — StarCraft (@StarCraft) November 13, 2015

This is surprising news… mostly because StarCraft 2 is no spring chicken, and the game originally launched back five years ago back in 2010. The game has been receiving a sprinkling of content packs and expansions over the past five years, as Blizzard has wrapped up the game’s main story involving all the main characters.

What’s so surprising is that not only is this a rather sizable expansion for an old game at the $39.99 price point, but it managed to move a million copies within the span of a day. That’s terribly impressive. Even more than that, the game is a real-time strategy title. According to console AAA publishers, PC gaming is dying and real-time strategy games don’t sell.

I guess Blizzard put on their “IDGAF” cap and decided to drop bombs on the market and blow the stereotypical investor talking points clear out of the water like Hiroshima nearly getting bombed off the map.

The reality is that gamers love games, and Blizzard told a fantastic, fun, strategically bittersweet tale with Legacy of the Void, concluding a galactic journey that’s been spanning for years. It’s not just the genre or the platform, it’s that Blizzard has taken prime care in their brand and treated their audience with enough respect so as not to just cash-in on the property for a quick buck. StarCraft never lost its identity.

We’re seeing games like Halo 5 and Rise of the Tomb Raider practically losing most of the identity that made them popular in the first place. It’s like they’re now surviving on the fleeting fumes of nostalgia and vapid market presence of the hype trains.

Anyway, StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void is available right now. The game is quite beloved by the fans and you can learn a thing or two by paying a visit to the official website.
