First off, the whole idea that Warcraft was originally Warhammer is just wrong. Some Warcraft artists took inspiration from Warhammer (but didn't directly copy it), and Blizzard's (well, Blizzards' old company's) CEO tried to get a deal to brand the game with Warhammer (which never happened) ... but the game never meant to copy Warhammer or be a Warhammer game.

If they were inspired, and tried to make it to appeal to games workshop to make a deal, and after they said no then it changed from War
hammer to an identical looking game called War
craft....then it was originally Warhammer. Period. No debate.

But probably because back then even the big games were dominated by a more pirate like anti corporate culture than they are now.
