On the base that every E-Sport has to have a player = viewer base, and Broodwar has some pretty hard interface flaws and is by far not "idiot friendly" so it won't attract players in huge numbers. It rather appeals to 25+ year old players who may played it as a child. Those may spent some money, but there is nothing to spent it on with Broodwar.

Also it's rewards are not shiny symbols and ez X/1000 achievements wich get players to play. It's rewards are not getting supply blocked ever after trying for 10 million times, and not even getting an achievement for that.

Basicly Broodwar is like taking am advanced course on "Ordinary Differential Equations" for fun. It's deep, and rewarding and you can learn a lot. But you can also get drunk playing League of BeerPongs.

I like how the only people saying no with such an expert analysis are those who never posted here before, while totally ignoring that BW just yesterday peaked at 130k viewers.

But go on with your expert analysis of summarizing BW as "old people with nostalgia" playing a game of "not getting supply blocked with no depth" and boring like some math class.

I necro'd this thinking people would be happy where we are now, I didn't think people would go right back to arguing what they were arguing 5 years ago, I guess it's my fault for assuming people would check the last page or read dates of when the thread was originally made.

It is already made a comeback. Of course, it can't be compared to its peak.

But, it's made a strong comeback -- and I can't be happier.
