The only thing that a reduction in staff supporting SC2 means is that they are reducing that cost. That in no way represents that they are planning to stop supporting SC2. It could easily mean that they are being more responsible with their "investing". I did read the article and like I said previously it doesnt lead me to believe the sky is falling on SC2. Since you have admitted to having no idea what the cost or what the benefit is of SC2 to blizzard your conclusion that they are "losing a ton of money" on sc2 sounds a bit nuts.

I've explained it to you multiple times, its simple math, they have big costs and small income if you don't think that = losses that is on you not me. If there is something in previous posts you don't understand feel free to ask, otherwise you can argue about how a small income - big cost doesn't equal a loss. Looking forward to it mr sane guy.

I don't get where you are getting your "big cost - small income" when we don't know either the number of people working on the game or the sale number of Coop Commander, altought we do have the warchest figure and they sell all of them everytime.

Maybe they do are losing a lot of money on SC2, maybe not, we can safelly assume it's not one of their most profitable assett, but I don't really see the point of arguing about it without actual figure in front of us.

Yeah its hard explaining to people using circular logic that they arent being rational.. hes already said multiple times and aknowledged that he doesnt know but then persists with "knowing" in the next post he makes lolol...just to clarify for you shuffle..in case you have totally lost it at this point... yes yes we agree with the 1st grade math youve done... big cost plus small income equals a loss...roger that friend. Except you dont (as youve already said LOL) know the cost..or the income...so just get off it already lmao.

Whether or not esports is a bubble, the bubbly atmosphere warps the scene. Profit chasing us going to kill morale and feed misguided expenditures. 2 years from now we will look on 2019 as the end of the 2nd golden era of sc2. Not sure it will ever come back.

Desert Oasis and Steppes of War was peak SC2.

Seriously, SC2 decline was because of competing games like Dota 2 and League of Legends. That's all there was to it.
