That's just my point. A "Top 50 Games of All Time" shouldn't BE about 
"historical weight and influence." If you want to do that kind of a list, 
do a "Top 50 Most Influential Games of All Time". And then, damn straight, 
Warcraft belongs on the list, along with Dune 2, and a bunch of other games 
that weren't mentioned on this list.

But Starcraft wasn't just a "Warcraft Clone". It was better in every way 
imaginable. It took the RTS genre to a new level.
