Unfortunately it felt like it got the structure in place too late for many of the non-hardcore players who’d already moved on to other things. it absolutely COULD fit into that, but they opted for a box model with the shop coming in far too late to save the development in the game. they'll figure it out with diablo and hopefully come in with something compelling if Starcraft 3 is real. | ||

They simply Don t even have the know-how in the Company anymore. This is my take on it as well. All the competent and seasoned veterans of the RTS genre have long since departed Acti-Blizz. If anything, I'd expect a shooter a la Starcraft: Ghost: RE. If Acti-Blizz would already be under Microsoft, I could see a snowball's chance in hell for a Starcraft 3 spearheaded by the people who made Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition, but since it's not the case yet, as far as I'm concerned Blizzard in-house RTSes are dead and buried. | ||

Honestly, I'd be surprised if Blizzard ever made a PC-only game again (besides WoW expansions & remasters). this is more true today than it was yesterday that's for sure haha | ||

EDIT: I looked at whom Blizzard is hiring. And they are hiring a lot of people for an "unannounced survival game". I hope that that is not it...  | ||

The game has a metric tonne of content. A person with full time IRL responsibilities can play the game forever. | ||

On top of just being head and shoulders X10 above any other RTS on the market, I'm in mid diamond and never have to wait for more then 30 seconds for a match and anytime I hop on the arcade it's either 30 seconds or a few minutes and I'm in game. This game has a surprisingly stable player base over this decade and some change. Tbh I know everyone (myself included) is stoked for StormGate but looking at the alpha or pre alpha or whatever test video they put out I'm kinda.....yeesh....looks like they are trying to stray away from a Starcraft type RTS and make some type of futuristic version of Warcraft 3 and AOE 4. Obviously it took years and years for SC2 to take it's current peak form but I'm very much so hoping they design SG with a SC2/SCBW approach and not the other RTS games which to me quite honestly just kind of suck as far as an E-Sport goes. WC3 and AOE are great games, but do they hold a candle to SC as far as a competitive RTS? Hell no. | ||

My mmr ranges from D-1 to P-2 depending on how out of practice I am; I find games fast. My sister in law is in Gold and she finds games quickly as well. I play the game when I have time. So in any 6 months time period I will go several weeks without playing. My great experience with SC2 is part of what convinced me to give D4 a shot. So ATVI is seeing some kind of return for it's continued support of SC2. A lot of old games disappear. 87% of all games released before 2010 are unplayable without piracy. Pretty brutal. "We won't sell you this game but we will litigate if you try to play our game." This is the absurd state of the video game industry. It is a tragic-comedy. Examined from this context Blizzard and ATVI have done a great job supporting a 13 year old game. | ||

It’s still an awesome game but it took a long time for them to get it right with additional content for more casual players. They did eventually get it right, but it launched as a pretty antisocial experience, things like Co-op that worked great weren’t implemented for some time etc. Warcraft 3 was a more social experience and custom games felt a bigger part of the overall experience Things a hypothetical SC3 could nail easily out the gate. And they’ll probably have to, it really depends what model they go down, F2P or a retail purchase. | ||
