Activision and Blizzard, while partners in many ways, are not linked operating wise. / Also, people really need to assess the fact that writing the word purposefully in a sentence regarding Blizzard ending the life of two of the biggest e-sports games ever. There are many factors to consider in something as crazy as this situation, and I have been mad at Blizzard for many a patch change, but linking the situation that happened with Brood War to this situation is not really appropriate. This time, the game never really had a footing with anything other than a solid, small fanbase, and got, most likely not intentionally, put in the position where it was the game that came during a generational switch in e-sports, with the free-to-play genre exploding. StarCraft II still did quite alright considering, and while some actions by the developer were questionable, like the queen change of May 2012, a lot of it was good. At the very least, it's not Blizzard as an entity that slayed the game, but a multitude of factors like match fixing, a divided fanbase with different opinions on what StarCraft should be, bad seeds in Blizzard KR, and maybe even a mismatch between the current e-sports demographic and the people who have watched since forever. Also, one can appreciate a lot of the players in their former habitat, or find a new flavor of e-sports now. Maybe for the best? ---- Oh by the way, JackONeil, your posting is atrocious. Read what you are writing and try to get some better outlook on how you are framing yourself and who you are speaking to. It's incredible how you are just coming up with random ass Trump-esque statements about how much the establishment sucks and then justifying it by telling people that your money is so valuable it can't ever go into Blizzard's games again. ---- | ||

En taro Tassadar!" You say that you love starcraft but refer to SC2 fans in third person + you keep spewing out jokes or whatever you want to call it | ||

While Sc2 may not be a perfect coincidence of balance and design, like Broodwar was. I still prefer playing Sc2, due to the fact i believe it functions how a modern rts should, with unlimited unit selection and such. So when people were starting to move back to BW, i was actually a bit frustrated to see the scene fracturing like that. Though given these Stork revelations, they have totally redirected my anger to Blizzard. And have given me one player that i hope can become dominant again in Stork. Also have an even greater level of respect for all the pros who continue to play sc2. | ||

There are lots and lots of people who are realistic about sc2's situation who didn't get in trouble with mods even a single time. I wonder how that is possible, hmmmm. Maybe you shouldn't pretend that "dead game" spaming is "pointing out facts", that might be it? | ||

Blizzard is a good option for my cash relative to my other options. Most of the moaning, whining, and complaining comes from other consumers who believe they are junior game designers. anyhow , if you want to get a game of C&C4 going... lemme know how that goes. You love to compare SC2 to other RTS games. But you always choose one of the losers like C&C. What about Brood War? Why is BW resurging while SC2 is 6 feet under? Even going by your own standards, this proves everything you say is wrong. There is a market for RTS, and it's headed towards BW because SC2 is the inferior product. You can call it "amateur game design" if you want but I know what I want in an RTS, I know why my friends quit, and I've listened to the opinions of many other gamers on why they don't play SC2. They all say the same thing and it's honestly not rocket science. | ||

Image your boss is trying to use a lot of money for dwindling and not promising project despite there are other growing and promising project. If Blizzard completely stop development of SC2 and support for SC2 e-sports now, I may get rage like you , but they are still supporting this game. | ||
