I think this is a rather close minded way of viewing the release of Starcraft II. There's certainly justification that the release of SC2 could destroy the existing SC1 community but will it be a bad or good thing?

I guess people just really hate change and become attached to the things they are familiar with. Myself? I don't mind it, good or bad I believe change is always a good thing. I can't imagine being in the same place doing the same thing for 40+ years of my life. No matter how good it is.

I really don't understand your blog though as they have some glaring contradictions. You state that they should remake Starcraft II using newer graphics engine, physics and B.Net infrastructure. Essentially it'd be a prettier Starcraft. Then below this passage you state the difference between Counter-strike Source 1.6 and Counter-Strike Source isn't just merely a graphical thing. But it's also missing the nuances, bugs and oddities that had existed in Counter-strike 1.6 (CS:S is merely just CS with a newer engine).

You see, by examining this you could assume that doing the same thing to Starcraft would yield the same results. You get less of a game in turn for a better visage. All the quirks, bugs, and oddities that had existed in SC would likely not be there and the nuances the players had developed would likely not exist either.

So it looks like the only solution to this is to continue to play Starcraft: Broodwar and not ever think about revamping the game because as you have stated with Counterstrike 1.6 and CS: Source. It doesn't work.

I believe this is why Blizzard has stated time and time again that they don't just want to remake the game. They want Part II, for better or for worse. Trying to remake the game will only turn out a worse product than the original. The greatest games ever made are usually the result of luck.

I agree that SC2 is going to wreck SC. It's pretty clear that a game sharing the Starcraft name is going to tear the community apart... leading to the tragic scenarios other posters have pointed out. We can only hope that SC2 has the same, or more potential than Starcraft, while a whole different thing from it altogether. Ideally, that would let both communities survive, and flourish (many people picked up D2 when D3 was announced, Starcraft can gain more fans from SC2). And Blizzard's the best company to trust with SC2's development, that's for sure.

I find it rather ironic that a few years ago, before SC2 was announced, people were bitching that SC2 looks like it'll never come out (remember it had been 7 or 8 years since SC was released and it really started to look like SC was simply going to be the only game in its series).

Now people are bitching that SC2 will come out? You guys are ridiculous

Good read, happened to say everything I felt about SC2. What I don't get is why some people actually WANT to keep auto-mine and MBS in.
