Why is it that so many people seem to think that "you're mean!" is an argument? He made some points about the game, which you are free to dispute. Calling him a poo-poo head does not refute those points in any way. Everything he's saying has been said for more than four years now. He's hardly alone in holding these views. My patience with Blizzards fluffy answers and general intractability is wearing thin too. | ||

I for one am glad to read such a blog and by someone notable in the community. Hopefully Blizzard will consider the points you've made and something constructive comes from it. There is no doubt Sc2 will be around a long time but the question of how big it will be in 2 years will be interesting to see. | ||

My patience with Blizzards fluffy answers and general intractability is wearing thin too. There is a difference between stating points calmly and being an ass. He quite a few times sounded like a kid having a tantrum. Being an ass is likely to result in people writing you and your opinions off. | ||

How can that in anyway shape or form negate that article? What on earth has it got to do with it? He's vocal, swears: therefore what he says is irrelevant? Huh. It's presented well, and written well. Sources and links to various items to help back up points.. If people are stupid enough to dismiss someone out of hand without thinking or reading what's being discussed. More the fool them. | ||

in a debate about the deep nuances of entertainment software monetization this can mean the difference between being understood or not being understood. extracting hundreds of millions of dollars from millions of consumers is a deep, intricate, complex task. | ||

"And on top of all of this, they found a way to finance their development teams – by using the Steam market to sell skins and keys." Can Blizzard monetize Starcaft besides initial sale? It's not the same as a MOBA or FPS, and I doubt it. So you can't blame Blizzard for not supporting an RTS in the same way as those comanies support their games. And no, Blizzard isn't going to make SC2 more like Brood War. That might be good for the TL superfans, but not for Blizzard's financial interest in attracting casuals. And let's not forget Blizzard has propped up the GSL with their own money since the very beginning. They do WCS basically as charity to the community. | ||

Perception is so important. Go on Reddit's homepage, click on the top right and search 'StarCraft', look at the first result. | ||
