for shits and giggles, i got ~70% of the way through Planetfall. my grandma and her bingo pals all play//played an infocom detective game called Deadline. Apparently, detective games are all the rage for women 70+.
In Planetfall, my character started getting sick and slowly dying and I could never figure out what was causing it. i don't want to look up spoilers in case i decide to pick it up again.

FGS had a huge advantage when entering this world. just like in the world of sport, some kids are given all the resources while others never even get a shot.
there's no way to judge every single employee FGS individually. i'm sure some of them were/are at least Masters level at their job, if not GM or pro.
but it's clear now that the overall performance of FGS is... not competitive.
these linkedin posts are sad like a gold player crying that something is imba. i feel bad too because of the personal sacrifice involved. like moving to korea with your own money hoping you get good enough to be invited to a team house before your money runs out. welp, money ran out, gg The toxicity in this post. Attacking a man who's out there trying to carve a way for the future of RTS. SC2 and SC1 aren't getting updates anymore. Attacking FG doesn't help anyone. Play their game, or don't.

LMAO. I did not have SC2 patches ahead of SG on my bingo card for Sept 2025, but here we are. Long live the king.

WC3 is in the best state it has ever been, IMO.
Both in balance and available playstyles.

Agreed.
There was a nice side effect of Reforged.
The game was on a hiatus before. No patches for years, but we got regular patches since it came out. Even stuff like ingame hotkey mapping, camera zoom settings, gold workers indicator, timer, etc.
Even if Reforged graphics itself are unsalvagable, everything surrounding it is nice!
