Helping a player to pay his rent/living cost supports esport in a very concrete way. Especially in a scene where only a few are making a decent living. | ||

One player =\= eSports. Competitive scene and professionals = eSports. Funding one player does not help eSports, it helps one player. | ||

Might give too much money to the players you know. They're still investing the exact same amount into the esport prizes. Its 200k plus the money they already put up. The rest goes towards 2018 operations. I never said it goes towards prize pools but we don't really know either way yet. Considering the size of the community this is probably the best way to keeping things funded. Blizz can't do all that production at a loss forever. More money in the scene is never a bad thing whether it goes to players or casters. | ||

Oh wait, it's because making the game better doesn't make Blizzard money, but cosmetics do. I'm sure all those 3d-model, texture and animation artist will get onto to balance changes as soon as they're done with the war chest! | ||

Unfortunately much like Playstation Plus the extra's you get for buying that which you actually want just make the price even more absurd, but can easily be used as ''justification'' of said price. | ||

Only thing I'm scared of is how hard it is to distinguish Dropperlords from normal Overlords in the preview pictures (I already have this problem with the "mutated" skin), hope its easier in the real game or they'll change it up a bit. | ||

These ar things they need feedback on now that they have released it, give it, constructively, but do give it! | ||

We also saw a lot of the colossi skins (the white and the taldarim ones). So I think we'll see those skins in professionnal play. | ||

Charging more for the price of fucking skins than for the actual game. its the pay whatever you can afford revenue model. if u have no cash at all you pay $30 to join the party. if u r in ur prime earning years and want to spend $400+ on Starcraft you can do that too. so far i've spent ~$600 on SC2 stuff and much, much more on the 2 Blizzcons i've attended. So far the airline companies are making more money off of me than Blizzard. On July 16 2017 05:17 SetGuitarsToKill wrote: So my question is will these skins be allowed in WCS tournaments? They've been weirdly against it so far why is it weird to be against it? let the top players make the call. if the top players want the skins off... keep 'em off. | ||

Make people pay for events that are bringing you money. That's like if IKEA asked you to pay 10 bucks for a hotdog, so that the money gathered could help them design a new couch they'll make you pay for full price. It's brilliant if you think about it, what a PR masterpiece. | ||
