There's no need to want it dead and burned down just because it's not your ideal situation. Still I admire you saying how you feel about it and I think you write and delivery your message nicely, I can see why that thread would evoke such a response from you, it has a lot of people disgusted with the community. | ||

Esports evangelicism can be annoying as fuck, I dont disagree, but your post is silly. It isn't really as people who like football just go and watch the games and support the teams and stuff they aren't always going on about how they need to spread the sport and just in general being aggravating whenever some kind of drama appears. | ||

I don't know how honest you were in OP when you said you wished SC2 a swift death and for HotS to be delayed but I do literally wish it a quick death. Maybe I'm breaking from this thread's spirit, I don't know, but I have this selfish little thing in me that just wants for SC2 to die. I was going to write a big post but nobody will read it and nobody will care. I love SCBW so much, now it's mostly deserted. I tried so hard to love SC2, but it's a terrible game. Sometimes I just wallow in self pity. Not even kidding. I miss Starcraft Brood War, and I hate what it has been replaced with. A boring, dumbed down "real time cute tactics" ball clasher game which is used by some corps to generate revenue. | ||

You don't get to call me "kid" when you don't even understand what I'm talking about, kid. I have no problem with Blizzard selling a game, and I honestly can't understand why you think I was saying otherwise (honestly what's wrong with you?). Although this is only a small part of what bothers me about "eSports", I dislike the heavy commercialization of SC2 beyond the sale of the game. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a communist - but the business around SCBW seemed to be made out of people who liked the game. It was, at least in large part, this love-love relationship. Now it's handled by this big, dirty capitalist machine because there's enough of us under the label "eSports" that we're a viable crowd to sell shit to. And to make it clear, I never thought Blizzard and I were buddies. It's not even Blizzard I was talking about. | ||

And this was only the most recent genre to go. Don't even get me started on FPS's. So now that the casualization and mainstream catering has come to RTS's you finally feel its effects. All of videogames are going down this path. It's no longer about fun and entertainment so much as it is about profits. I don't know where this entire industry is heading but so far I don't like it. Hopefully something new will come out to replace gaming for us eventually. Untill then, we can only try our best to delay the process. | ||

The casters have to be clean cut, wearing nice clothes, and trying as hard as humanly possible not to offend anyone. We're like the fucking Mormons! This. THIS. I love BM, and I love commentating. And this is why I make peanuts commentating on my friends' streams instead of making decent money (not a living, but certainly a nice sum) on a secondary career. | ||
