Why 2 years late, if I may ask.

Maybe because the anti cheat protection was pathetic?  | ||

Blizzard didn't change some critical stuff for 7 years or it took them several years to fix some stuff that was criticised about since the beta. If it wasn't skill based, there wouldn't be the best players on the top... but they are on the top. And sorry, but WTF is "an honest game"? You think cannon rushing is not an honest game? | ||

I can't say for other games, but I think SC1/2 are very focused around 1v1 as opposed to team games, which is the opposite of what a lot of online game players are looking for. As far as player versus player goes, I don't really have a good answer to this. Ladder anxiety (despite the fact that there is unranked one) is often the number 1 reason players I know shy away from playing the game, and having teammates to fall back on is often the key to game success. Both MOBA and FPS follow this pretty religiously with 5v5s. I'm really not that optimistic in seeing single player (1v1) growths, but hopefully we'll at least bring people in starting with campaigns and at least into team games (pve or pvp) | ||

However, IMO it should have happened with the premiere of LotV. It might be way too late now. I hope I'm wrong, I would love to see SC2 becoming popular again. Also, I hope it won't bring too many hackers. | ||

Because it is hard for someone who wrote a code to hack a game, to make it also change the IP. They need to improve their reaction time, and ban people after few games. Maybe develop an anti hack software (I dunno how efficient this could be) that would block the game of something. Then I'm no hacker myself, but hiring actual hackers to make it safer could also be a good idea (if they didn't have it yet) | ||

I hadn't thought about that. But apart from that people really shouldn't complain. So you invested a couple dollars several years ago and now you're not happy because others get it for free? Just take this perspective: You paid to play SC2 from 2010 to 2017. And IMO the early years were the best years. So new players will never get what you got. Also, the price per hour played is ridiculously good anyways, assuming you play multi-player. Maybe too late, maybe it will bring cheaters along with new players, but definitely positive news. | ||
