The only thing I understood is they are claiming HotS is OK while it is losing viewers and players all the time (which started back in WoL and only stopped at beginning of HotS)... is that it? Viewers have been consistent for the last 8 month and the players that are retiring are young guys moving on to differ parts of their lives. It's a crowded field for SC2 players. Proleague is going strong and gaining viewers. So, not dead game. Plenty of people like what they are seeing and playing. | ||

I don't understand the point these few haters are trying to make. Can anyone explain it to me? WCS, IEM, Proleague all feature great games all the time. SC2 is the best it has ever been. The Starter Edition has brought some more players into the game. SC2 is by far the biggest RTS game out there. Blame a lack of competition on it, but in a free market we explain a lack of competition usually with one of those two theories: the top dog is too dominant for competitors to come up - so SC2 is great. Or the demand for the product is simply low - so it is not SC2's fault that it cannot compete with products of other genres. Also I cannot follow your point about players/viewers leaving. The numbers seem to be fairly stable for the last years. Which is a pretty good achievement for a buy-to-play-PC-game. Usually those games hang in much shorter than 4years. | ||

Browder got a promotion so Blizzard is happy with his work on SC2, they are not going to overhaul the game on an expansion. i'm happy with the game, watching IEM... things look good to me. playing the game, its still fun for me so i hope Blizzard just follows the guidelines David Kim outlines in the Reddit AMA. i believe in David Kim more than even Harvey Dent. i predict LotV will give us changes of the same magnitude or smaller than HotS. Therefore, if someone is dissatisfied with SC2, i'd recommend they play a different RTS. Hoping and wishing for Blizz to make wholesale changes is absurb because it's not going to happen. | ||

PvP is getting so awesome, I was gonna skip Code S group C but hell, that was even more fun to watch than group B :D and now the PvP in IEM is getting that level of excitment too! | ||

A vs B 1:2 (1:0) C vs D 1:2 (1:0) A had a lead by 1:0 and lost with own goal its game. C had a lead by 1:0, then D does a "catch up" with 2 goals. In sc2 such "comeback" works to ~80% like A vs B. This is why watching sc2 s mostly frustating and sad, own goal and another own goal... I have watched wc3, bw, aoe, c&c, there were not many "own goal", much lesser than 20%. | ||

Well, Blizzard being happy with the game is a better argument then "they don't want to spit in dustins face". Glad you came around | ||

A better way to find out is to check what people say in battle.net, chats, tl and reddit.usually 1 out of 5 posts is positive whereas other posts are negative.Therefore I believe haters are actually the majority. | ||

No that's a terrible way, but I can see why you would want to lean that sort of chat to prove your point. People don't actively watch things they dislike. | ||
