Hopefully even SOTIS can be revived. Arguably SOTIS was much better fan made moba than Blizzard's made HotS. In fact, most of my in game friends migrated to LOL after playing Sotis. | ||

Agreed, the partial F2P we had before didn't really bring in to many new players and reddit was constantly filled with people asking what to buy to try the game. And they had no idea a good portion was already free. | ||

Well, let's put it like this: is there 1 person who would buy lotv campaign that hasn't already? | ||

I think SC2's fall in popularity had more to do with its high hurdle to learn than the pricetag. Besides most people on TL already own all 3 games, no? I don't. Only own WoL, wasn't drawn to purchase the other ones, I didn't like the feel of SC2. Now I'll probably install it. | ||

Yeah, I didn't even know about blizzcon, logged in to my bnet account to buy LotV only to find out it's going F2P. Bought it anyway, because I wanted to play the campaign. | ||

Maybe won't have a huge impact on saturated western market, but I think this potentially can boost starcraft's popularity in China by a good margin, assuming Netease does its marketing right. Chinese starcraft play base already benefit a lot from co-op mode, drawing in a lot of young audience. Not really much other good sci-fi themed games competing with starcraft for this share of market. | ||
