Even though you aren't an official member of Frost Giant, I would think a company that was born from an HR crisis of people having terrible experiences inside of Blizzard then being treated like shit when they talked about them would probably be something you don't want to reflect in the greater community, but its something you are really eager to do, and here in public you have tried to get other people to get on board with it on multiple occasions — pretty weird. I'm sure it has something to do with what goes on internally in the company and you are radiating it outwards from your connections but I have to say its a bit ominous.

 Looking forward to the release of the game and how many players will actually pick it up. I expect Stormgate to do better than Battle Aces, especially in player retention. Question for both games will be if they can attract enough players and viewers to creare a sustainable tournament economy. In the end every tournament organizer needs to show good numbers to get sponsors. | ||

In the end every tournament organizer needs to show good numbers to get sponsors. The funny thing is, you don't need that many players or even viewers to make esports sustainable. If they do war chest esports will pay for itself even if player count is only a couple thousand. Player count will determine the scale of these esports, but there will still be esports. It's part of their games model. | ||

Usually devs don't share that revenue with tournament organizers though, so they need to get the money from sponsors and then it's all coming down to eyes on the event. | ||

but what was the last + Show Spoiler + genuinely original new RTS that came out? Stormgate feels like a very safe hybrid of other games. The thing that really excites me about playing a new RTS is that the new race or faction feels completely novel and has a awesome lore behind it. I watched the new faction reveal here, and it looked like something I could make in the Galaxy Editor in a few months. i havent followed any pro games at all, how is the gameplay looking? is it funner than it looks? | ||

As per the spoiler, I’d be interested to know myself. Last I personally played was Warcraft 3, but I’m sure there’s plenty of new ones since then I’ve just never played :p I guess Battle Aces is innovative in a way, I’m not 100% sure I’m a fan of the direction but it is a twist at least I guess it’s much easier to innovate when multiplayer isn’t a factor, or it’s an afterthought bonus, you can do whacky things when competitive balance isn’t something you have to worry about | ||

You could probably put it in the same box as LoL was to Dota, or Valorant to CSGO. | ||

Hell, a lot of people like something that feels familiar. | ||

Like you said, it's way easier doing something like that in a singeplayer game.

I don't think they would have been able to experiment with stuff like creep camps or some of the Celestial mechanics if they were making a sequel to SC instead. I'd like to think an SC3 would have had creep camps, or at least more interesting maps than SC2. Celestial mechanics are pretty out-there. They're certainly experimenting with some interesting stuff, but I'm not sure how much will end up in the game. SC2 early builds had things like spawning larvae anywhere on creep, Starports that could make units while flying, Thors built by scvs, and dark pylons. Stormgate actually feels kinda tame in comparison | ||
