I don't really understand how cognitive dissonance comes into it. Are you saying that people that like SBS only do so because they are rationalizing a justification for something they were forced to adapt to? And now that the situation is reversed and they are allowed to pick the option they would have taken in the neutral scenario, that decision is still affected by their cognitive dissonance making them hate MBS. Maybe you are onto something here. | ||

All i mean is that science shows that every person adapts their thinking to suit their choices, even if they aren't logical. A person who decided to play starcraft enough to get competitive, and especially now that they must have decided to not play a ton of other games, their unconscious makes everything starcraft look better than it actually is and everything else looks worse to justify their decision(A big reason why starcraft players hate warcraft 3). Thus their ability to analyse how changes would affect the game gets biased towards preserving as much as possible even if it isn't always logical to do so. The same thing with those that at one time quit starcraft. I am just trying to make it crystal clear that this discussion cant be won. Edit: And ofcourse im not saying that this is the sole reason they are against mbs, then i would be 100% wrong, if they had no logical arguments this discussion would be dead long ago. | ||
