Even if this is all just a PR ploy to get the BW players to stop hating Blizzard, it's already starting to work for me. | ||

Even if this is all just a PR ploy to get the BW players to stop hating Blizzard, it's already starting to work for me. ick, god please no. It'd probably end up being like SSF2HD, a completely different and entirely inferior game from SF2. I just know david kim would pull a sirlin. | ||

I just know david kim would pull a sirlin. And worst of all, they wouldn't do it for free. They would remove lan from the game to prevent piracy and force us on bnet 2.0 ugh... Let's hope it's just a PR move to try improve their image on korea so their new dota clone has a chance to have a 1/4 the succes lol is having. Damn sonic, all the secrecy and this was a bit underwhelming. When he said today would be more impactful and how today woongjin disbanded, it got me hyped somehow they would come back to bw, but well... too naive I guess. | ||

As long as its just a graphics makeover (changing nothing else gamewise), i'd gladly play on bnet 2.0. The amount of new players would breathe (more) life into the scene. Guess I'm just a naive idealist | ||

 Also, Sonic's commitment to BW never ceases to amaze me. Besides getting hyped, his announcements also always make me feel intensely grateful. (BROMANCE <3)Also, blizz being ... WAIT WHAT? Blizzard being supportive of a BW-event? o_O That seems almost too good to be true... I doubt that this is part of some greater (evil) scheme on their end, but I do wonder what caused this sudden change in approach. + Show Spoiler + PS: Note how I almost made it through an entire post in an SSL-announcement thread without using caps-lock for emphasis. Almost. | ||

Why is Blizzard involved in promoting this? What do they even have to gain from this? | ||

Sonic isn't going to move to SC2, and it's not like everyone will return their SC2 copies. Blizz prob wants to support both games now, and get good PR for helping BW instead of bad press for fighting it. It's good news for BW, either way. | ||

But I think this is probably just a positive thing and there's nothing nefarious behind it. It's cool that they're supporting BW again though! Sonic deserves the honor for keeping it alive during its rough time. Smooth sailing from here! Cool sponsor too. If there was a bad patch then everyone would just downpatch anyways. (There is precedent for this too.) | ||
