  What can they do that ActiBlizzKing cannot?

  Literally anything.

  There is currently a handful of devs doing the occational balance patch for SC2 otherwise the game is complelty dead from the developer side. On the MS side, AoE2 and other even older games are doing so much better.

        And SS1 came out 29 years ago and just got a remaster. This isn’t a years-pissing context. Starcraft II was supported way long, and extensively. And like all good games, eventually the vast vast majority of players have moved on, and then the devs might move on, too.

        Isn't the expansion content between SCII's expansions and AoE2's expansions significantly different?

        Comparing one thing to an exception is dumb in the best of times

        The original AoE or the rereleases? Because i had to pay for the definite edition.
