Noob question here, but to whom does the title "Sons of Starcraft" refer to? Is it anyone in particular or just the denizens of sc2?

Ah another money sinkhole that's worked on some poor donators to perfection.

Spring 2013? Really? They had a whole year to produce this and they can't keep to a deadline. Probably because the guy making it is using that 40-something thousand dollars to fly around the world and enjoy himself, pushing off this naive community with some vague promises before he finally released an hour long video that could have been done by someone in the community with a camcorder and 5000 dollars for flights and accommodation.

This shows and integral problem with the community at heart: that most of them are late teen/20 somethings with a bit of disposable income and no idea what they're doing. So they willingly put their money towards something with no idea of whether its going to come through the other end or not.

"Oh no, they need more time to make a REALLY good product"

"Oh they don't have to be accountable to us! Nick and Dan are good to us! They should take their time"

Remember that Star Nation film with Naniwa and White-Ra? Barely huh? I bet you by the time it comes out, it'll be a non factor. Because all that footage will be almost useless and the community wants something fresh. Case in point: The uber-disappointment of Liquid Rising, that hit about 400 delays and was unanimously considered to be inadequate. A couple months later, Team Liquid release two 20 minute videos of their time at the IPTL, which cost absolutely nothing, and the videos are loved by the community for being genuine, timely and informative.

Wow. That was hard.

It's okay if you're donating money towards Liquid Rising or Good Game I suppose, think of it as a charity act towards a team you love. But these grand ventures really have to stop before some poor saps get scammed any further.
