I don't know what all your other stuff is about or why you're so mad. It is a strategically interesting game. You don't think so? Fine, but that doesn't make it true nor does it diminish the strategical brilliance displayed by many pros. That is irrelevant, I was talking about his shitty argument from popularity When Brood War was the most popular RTS game, it wasn't good because of its popularity. Its popularity was not evidence of its quality. It was good because of its intrinsic traits. You don't think so? Fine, but that doesn't make it true
It makes it true that it doesn't interest me. It's also true that it does interest you. That is a matter of fact. Wait, your telling us that quality and popularity are not directly linked? Really? You going to tell us that water is wet next? What do you expect me to do when someone implies an argument from popularity? If someone says water isn't wet, then I'll point out that it is. So fans of SC2 are the Bieber fans of the RTS world?
Precisely, people only jumped on SC2 because of BW which fuel the circle jerk much like many teen girls don't ACTUALLY like JB but only does it because it is the "cool" thing to do.

If you are going to advocate any game, even the best one in the world, you should talk about its intrinsic qualities, not its popularity. I used Justin Bieber as an example of that. If popularity was a valid sign of quality, then Justin Bieber would be a legendary musician.
