Do people want 2 hour games or quick 10-20 minute games? I'd say the majority can only stand so many 2 hour games and that's on good conditions without people leaving during the game. | ||

Min/maxers (people who bust out Microsoft Excel to figure out how to build the strongest possible force with the minimum possible time/resource investment) make the real strategic value of many RTS games debatable at normal speeds, but when sped up to two or three or four times as fast, it's not even a questions. It's no longer about out-thinking your opponent and the big picture, it's about reflexes, rehearsal of a super effecient build order, and micromanaging individual unit movement and abilities-no higher-level thinking required. God that is so wrong. I play sports competitively and I can say that many strategies and tactics are indeed "rehearse" in real life. This article is like the last person to talk about strategy to give out "how strategy should be." What a joke. Not sure if it is because I play Starcraft, but in Starcraft the strategies are A LOT easier to notice than some physical sport. Very easy visible for someone to see the difference AND cause & effect of Reavers vs Templars. | ||

 A problem with that article is that it is not just attacking Starcraft, but gaming, esports in particular. It doesn't openly say "getting good at a game is bad", but it might as well mean the same thing. How is gaming going to grow when a huge establish magazine such as PCGamer attacks the success of Starcraft which finally allows a videogame to be shown on TV and spawn interest in games outside of even casual gamers? Now the negative stigmata of a gamer is once introduce again in PCGamer, of all magazines  . Majority of the people aren't good enough to judge for themselves how deep Starcraft is so they will just take the word of a so-called expert, PCGamer.This is no different than an opinion show on ESPN which the guy said "soccer is not a sport" and goes on to list the negatives. At the time, I was ignorant of soccer and thought since this guy is a figure of authority then what he says must be true. Now soccer is one of my favorite sport to watch and play (videogames). I felt so foolish that was I brainwashed by that garbage. | ||
