Wouldn't this be because of the global recession? More people out of work means more people with time to play starcraft. It's how sc got big in the first place. Maybe we could have timed it with the sc2 release for better results.

It's kind of funny how inReach accuses HotBid of trolling while he isn't trolling, then HotBid procedes to do an epic troll.

do you know anything? 1.4% population increase is in babies, anytime a population increases its because of new children. those new children can't play on battle.net yet because they are newborns and don't have the proper motor skills.


sure they do

You never wondered why there are so many protoss?

and i don't understand that inflation thingy...
More players are more players... I don't know how you can say that it is the "same" if there are more players :o

the concept is quite simple, players nowadays are not worth as much as players several years ago. there are more people on the earth so more computer gamers and thus more people playing starcraft and before there were less, that's how inflation works.

Holy fuck this is like a new level of dumb, how has noone called you out on this yet.

probably because they realize i am truly relying on lowly legal inferences, now go into dictionary, it oughtta teachya

So according to your logic, more people on earth = more people doing any given thing?

obviously more people on earth = more people doing any given thing. let me give you an example, if there are 10 people on earth breathing, and instead there are 15 people, that's 5 more people breathing. another example would be if there are 15 people, and then there are 20 people, that's another 5 more people breathing, or 10 more than 10 people breathing.

Do you actually think this subject is so cut and dry?

So why aren't there more people playing ps1 games than there were when ps1 was the current generation console?

because there's a PS2 and PS3?

Could it possibly be because as games age, people look for newer sources of entertainment and move on from games that are say.. 10 years old?

I can think of a few examples, there are more people playing Chess now than the 1800s. And there are more people in the 1800s playing chess than in the 400s. And more people playing in the 400s than in 65million BC, because there were no people back then, only dinosaurs.

Inflation, that's your answer. I literally am right now discovering that I don't want to click post until I have fully expressed my awe that someone could be so absurd. But also I am discovering that I can't, with all the words in the dictionary(inflation being one of them), there isn't one for the way I feel about your posts.

Your posts seem to have inflation too, every one of them is worth less as you continue on this site.

And the condescending way you linked me to that wikepedia page that is about economic inflation as confident as could be...

Let's just look at this quote by itself for a moment:
"there are more people on the earth so more computer gamers and thus more people playing starcraft"

Wow.

So to break it down, more people = more people playing starcraft

And this can be explained by 'inflation', which is a generic term that I'm gathering you think means, as the worlds population grows, everything grows.

I think you need to re-read the wikipedia definition of inflation.

Not only is this not what inflation means, it's not even true.

There are more people on battle.net for a ton of reasons, most prominent of course is starcraft2's imminent release.

If blizzard had announced they were never making a sequel every year would be a record low SCbnet users.

EDIT:
This is at the top of the article you linked me:
"This article is about a general rise in the level of prices."

Yeah that has a lot to do with the number of people playing on battle.net I'm sure.

Let me spell it out for you. If you replace "prices" with "people playing on bnet" then what does it read? "This article is about a general rise in the people playing on bnet." Case closed.

its funny sometimes how people challenge an argument and get shut down so badly ^^

after reading this thread alittle further and see'ing this
