I think everyone is agreeing in the fact that if you enjoy a game you play it. That's the point of playing. Payment or not. Why do you think thousands are starting Broodwar again. I can tell you, not for the money. I won't say more, because it's forbidden on TL.net nowadays to say that the game is not good (in IT terms that's called "security through obscurity"). So I won't say it. Just read that above and think logical please. Ok so first of all, enjoyment has nothing to do with Shuttle's decision to retire, the reason is he has to do his military service. And you can't be a real progamer, who lives with his passion if you gain zero money from it, that's logical. There are people that plays only because they enjoy the game and they don't have any money from it in BW and in SC2, but you can't call these "progamers". Progamers : professional gamers. Profession : you live from that ![]() I think he wrote "I retire SC2". He did not write "I retire as a progamer but will continue playing". Please read the OP properly before spreading false information... :/ Besides, having to go *next year* to military is not really a reason to stop playing the game SC2 now, hm? I'm studying but yet I play plenty of games throughout the day. ![]() you don't retire from a hobby. Nobody's spreading false information, you are rather interpreting something in your own ways, that doesn't make it any more true though... | ||

Also complaining in a foreign language about another guy posting in a foreign language. He translated the important part, that's good enough imo. :3 | ||

SC2 is in a steady slight decline in terms of popularity and Interest. Its unavoidable that the players who dont see a strong future or at least have a huge passion for the game would want to stay just becouse they "can". Obviously if its due to something like mandatory military service, its a different story, but still. | ||

Because they know that the scene is on a steep decline. If you can't see this by now I wonder if its just pure denial or stupidity. Nobody is saying that the pro scene will die completely, but sc2 will fall until it is a somewhat niche game for a couple of years before it dies off at last. But don't you guys worry about that, just enjoy the game. Because after all, you are enjoying the game, right? What's truly ridiculous is people like you who actually believe the state of the scene has any impact on a player like Shuttle's earnings. Name an Esport that will support a player without a team, without any tournament results and without good stream numbers. Go ahead. We can wait. Where did I mention Shuttle? Yes, I am aware that this thread is about Shuttle but as I'm sure you've noticed all these retirement-threads tend to have a theme these days. Its "Great stuff, scene is gonna be better, too many players atm" vs "SC2 ded gem". Both sides are too extreme, there is truth in both but whats crazy is that the "ded gem" ppl are mostly trolling while those who cite downsizing is actually dead serious. | ||

The trolls are pretty serious too. And the downsizing is natural, since many, but not all, of the players retiring haven't won anything or accomplished much. Right now any team less player can claim he is retiring, even if his professional career never has nothing of note. But people take these claims as some sort of evidence of the game dying. | ||
