You guys can play on your Carbot skin while I wait for team matchmaking or racepicking. Do you really think that the same team that redrawn sprites can code the game? Do you also think that there can be a team with no money? And do you really think that a team is necessary in a game with no players? The brainless negativity in this forum is staggering. Go get drunk in your filthy neighbour bar instead guys. Ty | ||

Ty Aggressive, but a lot of valid points. I'm actually amazed that they're doing this kind of stuff given how dead the game is (compared to other e-sport titles). | ||

I think the game is more alive in Korea than we think. I've seen a couple times in different interviews where Tasteless has talked about how popular the game really is in Korea, how he sees people on buses all the time watching streams, stuff like that. Obviously it's not LoL or Overwatch or whatever is popular over there nowadays, but they must see some kind of value in it to have a team dedicated to working on it like they do. The reception for this has been extremely positive, especially on reddit where I saw a lot of people say they were planning on getting this. It's all anecdotal but man I hope this is successful and leads to bigger and better things. | ||

Remember that Tasteless and Artosis cast Starcraft 100% of their working time so the grass will always be greener using their glasses to have a look at the situation. 1st win prize for the biggest Broodwar tournament is $30K. That's good for a Top5 game maybe in Korea, maybe Top10 worldwide but it's far from commercially viable for these companies. That's how I see it. | ||

Ty We already paid bucks for this game when they promised 2x2 and still very close to 2 years after we got nothing and it's really alarming. We already lost a big chunk of player base. Give us finished product, then tell the rest. | ||

The game works fine, ladder works fine for 1v1 which was always the main goal. That's plenty for a paltry 12 bucks 2 years ago. | ||

The baker said that he'd give you a cookie today before you went off to school, but when you got there, he didn't have the chocolate chip cookie with macadamia nuts. Oh no! The chocolatier (the guy who makes chocolate chips) fell behind schedule, but is working on delivering them to the bakery as soon as possible. However, the nut forager did bring in the macadamia nuts, so the baker made a cookie with macadamia nuts but no chocolate chips. - "Here you go lil' Alpha, this is the best I can do for you right now!" the baker says. - "But I want chocolate chips!!!" responds lil' Alpha with a sour look on his face. - "I'm sorry lil' Alpha, the chocolatier is a bit behind schedule but he is working very hard on getting you the chocolate chips you want. We're not sure when he will be able to send me the chocolate chips!" the baker explained. - "But that's no fair! I want chocolate chips! Why can't the nut forager bring me chocolate chips? Why wasn't the forager working on chocolate chips too! I like chocolate chips more anyway." huffed lil' Alpha. - "Silly lil' Alpha, the nut forager doesn't make chocolate chips! Only the chocolatier can make chocolate chips. They have different jobs and do different things!" explained the baker. - "But both chocolate chips and macadamia nuts go on cookies, so why can't the nut forager do both? I would rather that he made the chocolate chips first, and then got me the macadamia nuts if he had time. The chocolate chips are the more important part of the cookie!" cried lil' Alpha. - "Lil' Alpha, they are different people with different jobs, one can't just do the job of the other! Just because the nut forager brought the macadamia nuts, that doesn't mean he could have already brought you chocolate chips instead!" said the baker, getting slightly irritated that he has to explain something so basic multiple times. - "Hmph, well then, I won't have any cookie at all then! If I don't have chocolate chips on my cookie, I don't want it! And by the way, why are there only nuts on the cookie and no chocolate chips? You promised me chocolate chips!" whines lil' Alpha. - "I just explained, it's beca- You know what? Go cry to your mom about it then, you stupid little shit," says the baker, and slams the door in lil' Alpha's face. THE END. You always post a massive text wall. It is 436 words. If you condensed your posts I would start reading them. Until then, I will continue to stop reading them like I have been doing for awhile now. I don’t have the time to read that respectfully. | ||

Condensed version: the people that made carbot are not the people who would make 2v2 ladder so it's not like them not making this would have made 2v2 ladder come out any faster. | ||

Team MM wasn't a priority among Koreans so the team prioritised other things like 64 bits compatibility which is kind of a big deal. This reminds me of those folks asking for free remastered because they purchased sc in 1998 which is pathetic. | ||

It sucks but everyone is going to need to do it by the end of this year iirc as 32 bit on macs will no longer be supported and windows is droppingsupportt too | ||
