I would be interested to see a study on the addictive aspect of the game, I know some who got into some trouble at uni because they played too many video games, not just sc2. How does our society draw the line on the amount of time spent in a game, where some of today's literally create a virtual world with endless hours of play time available. EDIT: Found a good study on gaming pathology | ||

I don't think SC2 is the kind of game that gets addicting. Playing a lot of 1v1s requires a lot of concentration, to the point that if you play too much you don't enjoy yourself playing it anymore. Besides, it's one's fault if he gets addicted by a videogame. Usually that happens when one doesn't have any other interests, which is a wrong thing to begin with. | ||

The study about how StarCraft helps learning: "I didn't read the study, but I agree because of personal anecdote X and unsubstantiated conjecture Y." | ||

Nice that someone did a real research paper on this! I always thought, that it is incredible, what (we) Starcraft players are doing to this game  I remember when SC2 was released, that someone posted his "research" how fast you are mining gas with 1-4 workers in the geysers and how to divide them and so on. That is just more than trying to learn the game, that is damn science! | ||

Or laddering in Warcraft 3, where the exp decay would make you lose hard earned levels. Improvement is hard work. | ||

Just because it's a study doesn't make it correct and/or true. | ||

Here is a good article on the subject of gaming addiction I agree with you, the person who gets addicted is at fault, but at the same time, developers try to get people to play their games as long as possible. Interesting, if nothing else. | ||

My personal view/goal for this project is to at least highlight the positive impact that SC2 has had in the lives of community members, and how others can look at similar interests as a platform to develop their own skills in learning. I'm really excited to know a lot of you guys enjoyed the report! | ||
