Yep, let's thank Blizzard for devolving online games by removing chat, LAN and introducing division ladder system, charging massive amounts of $$ for mandatory single player campaigns, letting others establish a professional e-sports scene and then come crashing in trying to gain control and not caring about their largely unused ladder in the aging SC1 since ICCUP does all the administration work for the competitive scene for free.

Go on and hype up a game that failed to deliver, so every single game developer points at it and says "BUT IT WORKED FOR BLIZZARD" when they remove chatting and clans but implement Twitter for all your social needs. Good plan.

I disagree with OP, Blizzard really died in my eyes in the last month... The thing is, they had a near divine (or at least as near as a game dev company can aspire to) status in our eyes, but these are major letdowns. I will boycott SC2, but I will be keeping an eye on the development. If I see signs of improvement, I just might buy the game and it's expansions, but it will probably be at a later date. I'm sad :[.

I have to say the fact that there is no monthly fee is what is allowing Blizzard to make such a crappy multiplayer environment. A large number of people are going to buy the game for the single player; whether or not people keep playing online on battle.net 2.0 for years and years has no effect on Blizzard's profits from people buying SC2.

brood war is all the game i need, even if we somehow knew for sure that sc2 would become as great as bw, why fix what isn't broken?

OP:

I think that your post is similar to the arguments for the bailout. I also think that you are wrong in saying that boycotting SC2 is analogous to denying e-Sports.
Fuck you, I have a degree in mathematics and I speak 12 languages. (I called the World Cup final in 2008 btw)

Blizzard is killing KeSPA, who really created the SC1 e-Sports scene.
Blizzard is making Battle.net 2.0 segregated, which is killing the e-Sport scene.
Blizzard is not allowing LAN in SC2, which is killing the e-Sports scene.
Blizzard is not listening to its community, not allowing the e-Sports scene to thrive.
Blizzard is terminating the OSL, MSL, and Proleague... the major SC1 events that gains the most views.

Doesn't seem like Blizzard really cares about e-Sports.

Honestly... nobody at Blizzard back in 2000s ever expected Broodwar to become such a great hit. Nobody expected the Koreans to take this game to such high levels. It just happened and Blizzard took credit for creating an awesome game.

I don't buy the whole intellectual rights thing. It's like NBA should be paying James Naismith permission fees to play the game he invented. I guess that's just the nature of money driven companies however, I know SC2 wouldn't be in production just to "make a game".

Why would I thank Blizzard for the godawful Bnet 2.0? And why would I even thank Blizz for Brood War, I paid for the product.

if something is wrong with sc2 the fans will fix it or make it ( remember counter strike is a mod why cant there be a sc2 mod that is more efective than the real product ) the fans/players/modders have tools ICCUP is in a very diffrent ball game than the us useast ladders..

and i dont like sc2.....

Why would we thank them for ruining a perfectly good game?
As soon as they fix B.Net i'll thank them.

Doing that you are not only boycotting Blizzard or SC2, you are also boycotting E-Sports, the progammers and ourselves!


if by programmers you mean progamers, well, Blizz isnt too concered about them, any possible feature that helps making tournaments easier is either missing or removed, such as LAN, IDs, clans, tournaments, ladder ranking, + you got the KESPA thing, now i do not want to make it look like it's their fault entirely, but the fact is active progamers do not play the game yet because of that.

plus the game is coming out in 3 parts, this does not help its competitiveness at all, it means it will have major changes in relatively short time, and a lot of money for them ofc


Im really dissapointed with the way this game is developing
