For a game of go the entire game state is known to each player. That's the diff. For vidya games state is hidden to the player if the player cannot 'see' it. Therefore u wrong fam.

I didn't say anything about hidden information. That clearly makes SC more challenging than Go, as it requires the AI to build some kind of mental model of possible player states from limited information.

The term the grandparent post meant to use is "imperfect information game" versus Go, which is a "perfect information game."
