We Require More Minerals is a legendary audio quote from the 1998 real-time strategy game StarCraft, voiced by the Zerg Overlord. It serves as an in-game notification when the player attempts to build units or structures without enough resources. Over the years, the phrase evolved into an iconic internet catchphrase used to describe a desperate need for resources, money, or even food in real-life scenarios. It is often paired with images of Zerg units or distorted visuals to emphasize a state of frantic demand, becoming a staple of gaming culture and an early example of video game soundbites becoming viral memes.
