Meanwhile i got friends that did assault with a deadly weapon, petite larceny, and even drug dealing go in for less. Life doesn't have to serve jail time unless he commits another crime in the next 2 1/2 years. I'm pretty sure people who assault other people don't get conditions like that. | ||

Which does seem more reasonable than serving the entire sentence plus the time he wasn't free while they were investigating. | ||

Is it any surprise that the most successful part of LOTV has been co-op mode? It's based on a completely different gameplay dynamic, free from the enormous pile of mistakes that the multiplayer design team made. I don't blame them for wanting to move on, and I'm hoping that includes Brood War HD soon. It's sad to see the entire Starcraft community get suffocated like this. SC2 was propped up for a long time by the in-built SC1 fanbase but that's not going to be around forever. | ||

If you're gonna hate on Blizz then hate on the decision makers, not the employs that carry out the orders. They'll do what the HQ wants but that doesnt seem they dont have any discretion. We've seen last year oov was tlaking about Blizzard KR employees shitalking SC2, that's something that would probably never happen in Blizzard proper.

Now Stork is showing us how Blizzard didn't give a shit about korea. I don't think not giving a shit about Proleague and not giving a shit about Korea are two completely different things. They can't subsidize everything and anything under the sun when they already subsidize millions of dollars a year into SC2. | ||

Still think SC2 will prevail. BW also did, because fans did a lot. SC2 needs to do the same. Dont care about haters. If you think the game is dead, just walk away. Nobody needs you! To compare the decision of letting Proleauge die to a criminal action(LIfe) is just stupid. Laws were broken, Life earned a shitton of money and called himself a pro. Now he has to live with the consequences of his actions. --> Funny that a failed progamer(firecake) seems to have the need to convince others the game is dead. Maybe because he needs to feel that his decision was the right one. I`m sure SC2 has its problems and a decline might be obvious, its still a really great game. I think its far more important to search for solutions than to play the blame game. I will support all the streamers and weekly cups as good as I can. There are a lot of Tournaments and I enjoy taht all the monster Koreans play in them now. I like this part of PL dying. Best of luck to Stork!!!! | ||

I honestly think Blizzard KR didn't care too much anymore and negative nancied more than I believe that the actual devs who made the game wanted it to stop. Sad anyhow, but yea. Bring on OW or BW.

Any other company would've abandoned ship earlier under these conditions. I even heard that he regretted sinking the BW pro scene and how they handled the entire switch. Exactly, it's at the very least not Morhaime beheading the game. Every time he talks about his games it's like a dad boasting about his son's football play. | ||

That alone explains a lot of things blizz did in regards to many of its games. | ||
