Of this kind, perhaps?
I’m slightly surprised you haven’t been attacked by resident trolls about this yet. 
They’ve seemingly lived on these forums, sniffing out topics and posts like this to jump in and fulfil what looks like their main purpose, i.e. defend the company and attack ‘conspiracy nuts’.
I’m not sure about the second part, regarding this game in particular — I’m not sure whether they’ve always had the technology.
I’ve written a lot about it (see Zephrys, Optimotron etc), don’t wanna repeat it, so I’ll just leave a link.
As for the first part — dunno either. Are you so sure about Warcraft or Starcraft?
Yeah, especially that famous Genn DH… 
That effect is so overpowered in this class in particular, I can’t believe everyone’s not playing it.
