Usually, multiplayer games range from 20 to 30$, while multi + solo games are worth 60. And yeah sure you've got some 60$ solo games, but that's where you have to be carefull with your money (Skyrim was well worth the money, fallout 4 not so much, especially with the addons bundle BS). But for instance Killing floor 2 proposes arguably more content than OW and it's 20-25$. Few years back, i'd have bought any blizzard games with my eyes closed. I did for diablo III, and regretted it a lot. My point is that now you can't trust blizzard to produce "great" game. They'll advertise the shit out of them, but wether they're worth the money is debatable (Diablo III wasn't for sure when it came out, overwatch isn't for sure). I'd agree on Diablo, but Overwatch seems like its an amazing game. It's really popular, and they're going to keep adding more and more to it. I think games are worth 60 dollars, I've gotten hundreds of hours out of Overwatch and probably thousands of hours with Starcraft multiplayer alone.

No there was no twitch TV back then but it was still super popular. SC1 + BW combined sold 10 million copies. And what he's saying still has standing. Compare BW's popularity in the West to Counterstrike, Quake, and later Warcraft 3 and it didnt reach the same esports popularity as those games, all before Twitch. | ||

Well to quote the Stork interview that this thread is supposed to be about 'I still think StarCraft 2 is a fun game, a really fun game, once you begin to understand how it all works. Once you pass a certain threshold. But with the times changing, and the genre itself fading away in popularity, not many gave StarCraft 2 the chance it needed.' | ||

Still a bit emotional, here are my thoughts: - Stork confirms that Proleague's death was primarly caused by Life and its match-fixing scandal. It was his main concern when speaking to Blizzard/Kespa. This is no surprise for me, but many other still believe "LotV is too fast/hard/boring/imba/expensive" is the main reason... please re-read the interview if this is still your opinion. - Blizzard... WTF?? I eagerly await an statement about this, it is dissapointing to say the least. How can you care and not care about your game at the same time?? And @admins please, this thread should be highlighted. | ||

And @admins please, this thread should be highlighted. I would say the matchfixing scandal sealed the deal. A lot of fans were upset with the way SC was being handled but still felt the game was worth supporting....then we got betrayed by the people who we as fans made into semi-celebrities. LotV isn't the main reason but the expansion was poorly designed and rushed in all facets, the multiplayer, the campaign, everything. As for Blizzard, Disappointing but kind of expected, with the way they were just not listening to people, brushing off starcrafts decline as nothing to worry about and a complete disconnect from the community it wasn't.....surprising to hear they kind of stopped caring. | ||

In the meantime Life is in prison for throwing 2 games in a video game. WHAT... Life is in prision for accepting money to alter the result of a match that had many bets on. Basically he helped to steal money from those who had bet for him, and give it to the criminals that bet against him. Your wording suggests that his fault was not too big, and this is absolutely regrettable. | ||
