Do they play Starcraft?

I'm confused. The "-craft" part of this all makes sense. But... why is the team called StarCraft?

Or is it a "star" team that works on their "craft" solutions?

I think it makes sense if you see "star" as the unix glob character, "*".

Starcraft as in *craft, as in they work on all the crafts - the star is a wildcard :)
