revival: so is anyone going to use this thread instead of the other game thread? sheesh.

y reply in old topic u

Rebooting this thread for any complaints/issues about SC2 since some fanbois may not like constructive criticism of the game in the main SC2 thread.

The way Blizzard tried to justify their price increase smacks of hasty ass-covering. Half of the reasons they gave are retarded as they come.

actually blizzard just forget about sc2...
WoW in 1-2 month could earn more than sc2 anytime...

WoW of course can earn more, but on the flipside they need 100+ staff constantly working on the dev teams. SC2 has 40 assigned to it, and for the first few years of the development they were assisting the WoW team. Also, when WoW launched, it was priced identically to Sony Online's Everquest 2, which was its biggest competitor then.

I dislike Battlenet less now as the downloader has improved significantly.

Just gonna get Starcraft 2 for its singleplayer and story. Probably won't have much time to spend on Multiplayer. Maybe a few skirmishes.

well if blizz is such a $.$ developer i dun see why would they bother with sc2...
if they are that profit oriented, WoW enuff would be milking enuff milk to feed them forever...
currently, funds generated from WoW and being used to develop other games...

From I see SC2 is just building this game up for the both eSports and S.Korean craze for it. It still plays like SC just with tweaks and a facelift.

They are profit oriented all the while, and I have no problems with that. Just that they now start adopting Activision's business strategies, which are ruinous in the long term. You can find lots of similarities with MW2's pricing schemes and messing up multiplayer, and every surefire hit is squeezed dry like a cash cow. While they can't meddle with Blizzard's development patterns, I'm pretty sure their bosses have the final say over prices.

Funds will still be needed to develop other games, WoW can't last forever.

i hate starcraft just because diablo 2 is coming out WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
later just so they can milk the shit out of starcraft cow

actually WOW can last forever...
the population in WoW is still very stable...
and with cata coming out, the population would rise (before falling a little - typical cycle)...

MW2 uses p2p, sc2 have their own dedicated server...
that's the difference over the long run...

Hi

WoW Classic release in November 2004
Burning Crusade release in January 2007 (that after 2 year and 3 months after classic)
Wrath of the Lich King release in November 2008 (that after 1 year and 11 month after BC)
Cataclysm release in sometime (maybe) in 2010 (that after 1 year and few months

Wow, how many MMO are you playing exactly?

That's like asking a girl her weight or age

How so?

Is playing MMO like a dirty little secret? Just curious because I have never touch one before.
