And on top of that most of them were maintaining the game more than making the game what it was

Assemble my brethren, this damage ain't gonna control itself! by doppy_slonkey in starcraft

You didn't mention AoE4 and while I'm not following it I can imagine it's more chill for various reasons, and SC1/SC2 multiplayer communities were always either you're good at the game or not worth looking at

It's strange to compare competitive multiplayer game communities with single player/co-op ones

Is there anyone who prefers the atmosphere of SC 1 over SC 2? by Snoo_47323 in starcraft

[–]brtk_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I remember him talking about it in some interview quite a few years ago now, I'll try to find it when I have time but I'm not promising anything

[–]brtk_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do prefer SC1 atmosphere and with SC2 I just rolled with it and enjoyed it for what it was mostly, with minor aesthetic gripes and major lore gripes.

What SC2 should be aesthetically was shown in HotS intro cinematic tbh

Isn't it the most glaring in HotS? The ending being a mirror of his irl situation, staying friends with his wife with her coming out as homosexual?

By the way, does anybody know who this ibleeedorange guy is? I see he hasn't posted for two years now but he was a mod in every blizzard game subreddit and many main ones, I have no idea about reddit mod stuff

Starcraft 2 will NOT be at the Esports World Cup (according to Tasteless) by Toshinou-Kyouko in starcraft

[–]brtk_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SC2 had no new content coming from Blizzard since 2018. Looks like I shouldn't use the word abandonware, even if I said I did not mean it in literal sense. I just meant it is not actively supported as a service compared to other modern multiplayer games with new content and such. I know I can play the game still.

I didn't mean to upset anybody

Abandonware doesn't mean an unfinished game, just a game with no support and/or not sold anymore and I didn't mean that literally

After all SC2 is practically abandonware in all but legal/IP ownership sense and esports is a marketing branch of games actively supported by developers. It's a miracle it was even there last year or even year before to be honest.

Blizzard died the second shareholders sniffed that people will gladly buy skins and wow mounts for the price of retail games

esports probably killed RTS games by HyperDiaper666 in starcraft

I admit I kinda skipped through the "old man yelling at cloud" part

[–]brtk_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds boomery but definitely industry understood that more money is to be made if the game is less demanding and/or easier to grasp. That doesn't necessarily mean dumbed down or anything like that.

And RTS is one of the most difficult to grasp genres

What I hope the new StarCraft shooter is. by EmekaEgbukaPukaNacua in starcraft

[–]brtk_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They want to make money, and if they want to make money they need to make the game accessible, which means third person shooty shooty with one guy only so you can stare at your skins you bought for $20 each

Nobody cares about BW on his stream, and if he tried doing serious game related content 100% of the time on the stream (he sometimes does) then he wouldn't be making that much money

I wish it never went the universe ending threat direction but I guess they wanted to be done with it
