BW was hard -.- In fact all of real RTS games have never been able to keep huge fanbase playing its core game for very long time whether it's BW,WC3,SC2. There will always be only dedicated players left. I don't know what's wrong with RTS though. I love the genre so much myself. | ||

If the topic would have been anything but starcraft I would have loved the interview, now it's just "above average". | ||

I can answer that one for myself: There is no story behind playing rts games. When you play games like sc2, the only things you think about are build orders, timings, micro, macro; stress. You don't have anything you are doing this for. All you do is obsolete after you finished the match. That's not what players like me want. I want to have something 'in my hand' when playing the game. May it be a new weapon, a new item, a new skill, you name it. That's why rts is not for me. | ||

It's brilliant and classic, however not everyone is interested in to play it nor everyone can be good at it. People tend to choose another game which more fun in other ways like killing, smashing, shooting etc... | ||

Why people go crazy with these nonsensical gestures has always been beyond me :p While I agree they look silly it has actually been proven by scientists to help you form your thought more coherently, something about helping you focus. | ||

What you said are mostly wrong because WoL will have all new BNET features too. Do you really think you'll stay in Wings of Liberty when 96% of players will play brand new Heart of the Swarm ? | ||

That doesn't have anything to do with what I said which was a response to you that Blizz intentionally hold back features for people to buy xpac and I said all new features will be implemented in WoL too=people will buy HotS because of new units and campaigne not because new BNET. | ||

They are abusing the fact that most ppl will buy the games no matter what they do, so they are just keeping us hungry for legacy of the void, which will in my opinion will be when really be when sc2 will be as awesome sauce as wc3 and scbw, because then they have no excuses to hold back important features. This is all very calculated stuff ppl D: Then they're calculating it wrong. This isn't 2000, it's a different time. BW and WC3 didn't have many real rivals. SC2 has a major rival now in LoL and Dota2. The longer they putz around, the more people will simply focus on those games instead. The other issue they have is societal shift. Players today do not want to learn build orders, keep up on metagame, or have ladder anxiety. And now there are a lot of other games that give them more of what they want. Once you lose them they're not likely to come back. In the end Blizzard is competing for the free time in people's lives and to be quite honest I do not see the scene growing more than it has already regardless of what Blizz does in HotS or LotV. Too little too late, that ship has sailed. | ||
