Crowdfunding worked incredibly crazy for the dota2 scene as an example. Their 2021 world championship had like 40 million usd pricepool While sc2 wont make that much but I hope it'll keep it alive Sidenote: Hopefully they do erratic/unbalanced maps like broodwar cause like the sc2 maps has been so boring leading to similar games. They dont really promote good spectatorship | ||

They dont really promote good spectatorship I’m still confused why Blizz didn’t keep doing Warchests, all they had to do was stick a few skins but really a lot of people chipped in solely to support tournaments, having not many other direct ways to do that. | ||

Well it's been discussed all over but the return on investment almost certainly isn't there compared to making cosmetics/micro transactions for other games. The 'WoW mount made more than SC2' story is exaggerated, but you can understand the general principle. | ||

Waste money to live again things what belong to the past. Instead of this crowfunding, you could recruit modders to get an oldschool SC2 which one could extend the SC2 era. | ||

Still waiting on your revolutionary mod that will be 100% balanced and the best RTS ever. | ||

Edit: I also hope they're willing to shake things up a bit to make the game feel fresh and exciting to bring people back to it. | ||

And don't let the fact that not only every RTS, but actually every Esports and even real sports gets faster and faster, not slower, to be more entertaining, stop you in any way :3 But back to topic: Maybe this is a stupid question and/or I'm blind, but can anyone tell me what RSL stands for? Revival Starleague? | ||

SC2 is like basically every other sport? Actually SC2 compares really good to football. Every year there are very minor changes to the ruleset (handball rule urgh ) which make the game gradually worse. It also has gotten waayyyy faster in the last decades. Every year players evolve , strategies evolve (or sometimes regress),... Compared to Chess, which has been the same game for 100s of years, but even Chess got faster. | ||
