For some nasty reason people are inclined to look down on others, and when that exclusion becomes meta, it is twice as repulsive. I pity you, and I pity myself, for I am thrice as meta to look down on you. We are all cursed. Jaedong please save us. | ||

Unless BW is now bigger than sc2 somehow. Not to mention he hasn't been playing that game. You can't just go back to different RTS with different hotkeys like nothing happened. If he's lost interest for good, I hope he finds the right path in the next chapter of his life. hahaha It's irrelevant whether you see any future in it, or whether you think JD can cope, because the BW Scene (Nutters) and JD are waaay above that.

BW vs SC2 isn't anything like TF2 vs Overwatch. ie the kespa forced switch, that SC2 was also made by Blizzard and had a lot of chance to do something better, how they ignored the arguments made by the pros etc etc. I mean surely if they had made SC2 more similarly to the way DotA2 and CSGO was made (ie using a successful, working model as a baseline and respecting it) we would've been a lot more welcoming. | ||

Hope he manages to do what's best for him, and I am sad that forced transition failed to capture the interest of all the big names. Seems we are seeing obvious drawbacks of being a progamer. | ||

I'm one of the fans most bitter about that transition and how it affected the lives of the people who worked in that industry and how it affected a source of entertainment that was very valuable to me. But that's hate against the politics around the situation and the total lack of compassion from the people who made those decisions. That doesn't actually translate into a judgement on the quality of SC2, which in the abstract I don't like but don't care if other people like it. The game itself is just a game. Discussion of whether or not SC2 is good is kind of besides the point, but we thrive on it because we wanna say look how dumb this decision that affected me negatively was. Look how so many pros hate it. Look how poorly the ends justified the means. Except BW was also very harsh, and lots of pros turned away from it eventually, or there were shitty coaches and companies taking advantage of these kids, and even successful pros would say sometimes they're not having fun anymore. It's all very convenient when you pick and choose what to bring up, but it buries the few legitimate things BW fans have to be pissed off about under a lot of stuff which is very easily waved off as pointless complaints. TLDR people weren't talking about the kespa switch, they were talking about the quality of the games. Which is utterly the special interest case. | ||

It leads to this kind of silly neurosis where everyone feels the need to jump and defend their game, as if it was their own mother, because its so taboo. SC2 sucks and it will be dead soon and im happy for it. I'm not happy a game you like is going to die. Yet somehow this statement alone might get me banned for weeks. I love your last paragraph. You are my new favorite person. | ||
