Both parts of the history are basically the same. I just do not get, why SC2 fans are mad only about the part 2... they should be mad at both parts. I am a fan of both game. I don't agree that SC2 is simplified strategy wise and I am not mad at any game.:D | ||

It used to be, It's not anymore. Just look at how easily League of Legends is becoming popular. Is that integrated into Korean culture now too? | ||

Because Sc2 is the SUCCESSOR to starcraft brood war. Brood war fans need to embrace this. Need to. LoL is going to take over brood war AND sc2 if not. What would you rather see? SC2 can only continue to get better, As it has shown. People need to give it a chance. And they will. | ||

I don't need to embrace anything if I don't like it. I don't care if LoL or SC2 is sucessful or not, I care if BW is. Nothing is entitled to my money/support, unless I actually deem it to be so. And sorry dude, but everyone and their mother has tried SC2 by now. If they liked it, they're the ones playing it. | ||

On a more serious note, this fucking sucks. When I was watching the playoffs last night I knew his presence there meant some sort of announcement coming. BW could be dying sooner than we thought.  | ||

That's like saying newer counterstrike game is successor to counterstrike 1.6 Of course I do not know anything about the game but to my knowledge the scene is sticking to the latter. Also cannot understand why people think LoL will take over brood war... we are not fighting for #1 spot here, just longetivity. | ||

They're 2 different games. yes, theres similarities but they're not the same, and don't necessarily appeal to the same people. I love BW, and yet I don't give two shits about sc2. If/when it comes down to BW dying out completely, it doesn't matter to me one bit if its LoL or SC2 that remains, I won't be following either. | ||

You either earn a license by winning courage (which is how most players get it) or you get one from a team (like idra did, who never won a courage). Foreigners weren't good enough compared to the koreans so they didn't make the cut. It wasn't BECAUSE they were foreigners. Do we still have to argue about this on TL? It has been beaten to death. Yes, it is fair, on paper. In reality it works out very differently. I still don't understand how is better for anyone but the ones who already posses such a licence. It is the same fallacy as the labor union "helping to fight unemployment". I am auite sure that among SC2 fans, those who want something like that to happen to SC2 are a very, very small minority. The fact that the situation might be different among BW fans is irrelevant, the game is not supposed to cater to fans of another game. | ||

I think it's very weird to mix the game industry with esports, which is what companies would prefer us to do. This is why good titles got cycled out of WCG, for instance, and now why some people insist we don't need BW. We need more good, competitive titles that people follow, we don't need to get rid of the working ones we already have. And we definitely don't need to trash BW just because it's in the same franchise as a much newer game. | ||

Community polls are cute, but it doesn't cost them anything. If I offered them $100,000.00 to neglect the poll results, they'd do it. They "sponsor" events, in the form of giving GOM a contract and collecting money. They don't "sponsor" events like Dr. Pepper sponsors MLG. Blizzcon was canceled (was that this year?), but normally it's the worlds best marketing toy, and it earns them money. We wait years for SC2 and Diablo 3 because a finished product sells more copies. They don't care about you, stop pretending they're Jesus, Inc. They care about money. It's not fucking shocking, they are a capitalist business. They're supposed to care about money. Even i would disregard polls for a 100 million, so would you. | ||
