EPT2nd thing is that i really love heroes in (!)strategy only games. WC3 was a good example of heroes and fantasy universe.
I really hope Blizz would make WC4 in future. Really really hope and believe...

( notice i didn't say WoW) and LotV is years away. there is nothing about it any where. don't expect anything at Blizzcon. so that 3 years and 10 months will grow to about 6 years or maybe 7. | ||

Personally I hope they revamp everything in LOTV and just make a game with depth for all races instead of 2 out of 3 races..... | ||

I recall reading that World of Warcraft constitutes 80% of Blizzard's profits. I can see why they would continually make WoW content but not non-stop RTS content where they had to sue people in order to have some level of control on the product. | ||

You know nothing, JimmyJ! a single $40 expansion in 4 years ain't much revenue. thanks for your big prediction. we can revisit this in November. i predict no LotV content @ Blizzcon 2014 and LOTS of MOBA content at Blizzcon 2014. the team is working on the MOBA not on LotV. now, just because i believe you are incorrect in this one fairly meaningless matter does not mean i'd extend that to a ridiculous degree by saying "you know nothing". i'll leave the baffoonery to you. | ||

Mario is a bigger brand, COD, Madden, Sonic, Zelda, etc... There were MANY games that were bigger than Broodwar. | ||

Not of fan of Game of Thrones then? "baffoonery" lol It's not out the the realm of possibility that LOTV will not be at Blizzcon, but even so, it will come. Going all doomsday about it is strange considering we've had a game release just one year ago plus the unprecedented Blizzard involvement and financial support through WSC. If it were up to me i would overhaul SC2 in the next exp. and test the crap out of it for a 2016 release. | ||

Valve found a way to monetize competitive multiplayer, its called dotaTV and its a huge success. Mimicking their market model wouldn't be difficult at all for Blizzard, alls you need is cosmetics, in-game spectating, and fantasy leagues built into the engine. fixed (in the nested quote)...

I kind of agree that's the direction everything is going, but... something like a million people bought HotS in the first 2 days, and at ~$40 right? So people were willing to pay for the game. That still amazes me. Who knows, maybe by the time LotV comes out it'll be like 200,000 people. But if it's a million again... | ||
