Game Developers and esports, how have they embraced the concept and changed their games accordingly.

From left to right on this panel:

Kristen Reilly - Meteor/Hawken
Florent Castelnerac - Ubisoft/Nadeo
Simon Bennett - Wargaming
Alex Kokhanovsky - Na'Vi
Dustin Browder - Blizzard



Jeebus, people. Read the thread please

Guy from Na'Vi don't know his name. He has a cool accent.
Edit: the ubisoft guy also falls into the cool accent category.

Yes Simon Bennett, you get my vote!

Genres will be the long lasting divisions of esports competition, even if the games within them shuffle regularly.

Tears in my eyes, this guy is so right. The death of 1.6 is the saddest thing to have happened to eSports.

paraphasing 'BW is a very successful esport, even to this day, and i hope its successful for years to come'

except blizzard has made active efforts to switch people from BW to SC2 so they can make some money off it, due to sales and more control of the IP. no one gonna challenge the speakers on stuff like this?

why?

most of his points have been good and he manages to be concise when he makes them which keeps discussion flowing.

I'm glad to hear him talking about how clear and watchable gaming is more important for esports than flashy OTT graphics.

The people designing the game (Browder) and the people marketing it / trying to make money out of it (upper management usually) aren't the same and they don't have the same priorities. I'm glad that the panel-debate didn't boil down to the "OMG y u kill BW OSL?" level, because this is nothing that Browder himself did or has anything to say about. He just decides which type of destructible rock is the best to add for playability.
Such flammable little insects!

if hes going to represent his company then he needs to be prepared to answer questions on every topic without reverting to marketing drivel. i couldnt care less about watching a 90 minute infomercial on esports. i had hoped that they would be prepared to actually debate their decisions and choices rather than advertise their games.

Why would they invite a code monkey to discuss e-Sports? That's like inviting a zamboni driver to the CBA negotiations.
