But some people do like World of Tanks. I know, it is hard to believe but such people exist. Tasteless, for example /s | ||

The quip about legal department I'm also pretty sure refers to Blizzard lol. Blizzard have done such a bad job with D3 and also screwing up SC2, it's time for big changes before they run everything down. On the other hand, big congratulations to Valve. I think the community can feel their support and good gestures and will respond in kind. | ||

Blizzard develops and designs great games. The people at the top know how to hire top talent in the area of game design and software development because its what they did through their 20s and 30s. Blizzard is lousy at setting up the framework of months long ongoing competitive seasons. Upper management has zero experience with this and they are surrounded by sycophants who are afraid to criticize them. Had Blizzard done "such a bad job" with SC2 it would've fizzled out during the beta and no one would've purchased it on July 27, 2010. | ||

What revolutionised esports in EU and US were basically 2 things: 1st player switch from mmos back to other games and 2nd technology (especially streaming, twitch etc because that gave money directly from viewers to players and teams). Starcraft just had pole position because it was blizzards game at the time those things were happening but it's silly to think that starcraft is the main reason for rise of esports. | ||

That isn't true at all. LoL didn't have a spectator client until they saw the number SC2 was putting up. Dota 2 development started in 2009 and was greatly influenced by the rise of SC2. Dota 2 might have been developed very differently if SC2 had not been around and the focus on Esports might not have been there. This is one of the main reasons why Dota 2 has so much robust features, is because they were laying down the ground work for the game at the same time SC2 was launching. Valve got to watch all the issues SC2 had and make their game to address those issues. | ||
