Speaking of stronger colors and the couple posts about DLC / charging us for it .. What is that even based on? In previous games (WoW) Blizzard took community interface AddOns like Scrolling Combat Text, Outfitter, etc and implemented them into the game. For free. I haven't seen anything with SC2 to indicate that Blizzard is planning on charging us for anything. There were 2 ways Blizzard announced that they could monetize SC2. The map shop and paid name changes. Other people said that the campaign being divided into 3 parts was a way for Blizzard to just be money hungry and take more of our money. Realstically though we're over 2 years into the game and neither paid name changes or the map shop are implemented yet - and we haven't even started the beta for the first expansion yet. So where is the greed? I'm all for calling a company on bullshit when bullshit happens, but lets not get our panties in a twist quite yet. At this point the only thing we can/should do is let Blizzard know that we want stronger colors to stay. | ||

Mostly it's a bad thing because it mostly hurts the harmless customization whereas hackers can still bypass it. However if there were some exploits that this fixes I can understand doing it. | ||

But i think it will drive away some creative minds and this really hurts a game. The DLC comments are funny though, if you do those more often you might trigger Blizzard to start doing it. Not that selling expansions is almost the same if you ignore the difference in price and quality. | ||

At this point the only thing we can/should do is let Blizzard know that we want stronger colors to stay. I really don't see this as Blizzard's motivation for these changes. Starcraft already yields good revenue for them. The revenue from map sales and name change would be a fart in the wind compared to what they already bring in. The proscene is the way they monetized the game with royalties, advertising and rights fees. They don't need to monetize the game any more than they have and I don't think they have any interest in that. The best thing for them to build the game as far as net profit from SC2 is concerned is just growing the scene and the brand. Imagine the revenue on royalties they would make if they landed a major TV cable contract or something along those lines. If sc2 got numbers similar to any of the major pro leagues in north american Blizzard's profit would skyrocket. That's what they are looking for, not chump change from selling a map or name. | ||

I was just starting to enjoy playing again because I could actually see what was going on. One more example that shows that they really don't listen or care about their users. Quick edit: I couldn't care less that they're stopping modding, as long as they actually implement things people ask for. | ||
