No company survive from being generous?

Why is Valve still around then? If Valve is being greedy, i dont think they will give out almost countless contents for TF2, and L4D2 or make your existing PC Steam games also work on a Mac without buying another separate mac only copy.

Just imagine the amount of revenue that Valve could get if they purposely make the PC version of TF2 only work on PC,and vice versa for Macs,considering the fact that there are getting more and more Mac users out there who also want to play games on it.

Every company has to think about it's profits, but the way Activision Blizzard is doing, thats way too much.People will know it sooner or later when they start making more and more crap. Then,they will feel the pain just like what happen to EA and THQ a few years back.

so when i can get mai ff13 dubbed? wwwwwwww

nice post edit. however for the sake of it, compare:
vs

"Do you like the direction BNET 2.0 is taking?"

see what i mean by QQs?

Say that blizzard is a restaurant, Starcraft 2 is the food they serve and battlenet 2.0 is the waiter that brings you the food.

Now the food is hands down awesome, it's the best thing you've ever ate, in fact it's so good your mouth orgasms when your tongue touches that culinary delight.

How ever the waiter is a d***.

He doesn't allow you to talk to any one else at the table, but you can whisper to some one close to you as long as no one else hears what you're saying (no chat channels).
When you see some friends of yours at the next table he doesn't allow you to get up and go to them unless you order the exact same thing you've ordered at your table once you reach their table (no xrealm)
If you want salt on your food you have to pay extra, if you want pepper you have to pay extra, if you want to use the napkin, you have to pay extra, if you want a tooth pick, you have to pay extra, if you want to go to the bathroom you have to pay extra (map marketplace).
While you order the waiter places a microphone under your table in order to gather personal information about you, information that he will use to make statistics and sell to other restauranats.
Sharing food between you and your loved one is completly forbidden since there have been case where people would eat for free by doing this (no lan)
The plates, knives, forks and the dinner table are filled with adds.
At the end of the lunch you can't see the whole bill, just the first 2 items you've baught and how much the overall price is, but not the price for the individual items (no world wide ranking)

Now would you WANT to go again to the same restaurant? Even if the food is good?

Would you really be surprised if some one would say "let's not go here anymore untill they fire that waiter?"

the first 3 lines more than summarizes his opinions. however the rest are just (for the most part) nonsensical criticisms.
and again, the main thing is the problem with bnet 2.0, and/or people's problem with the publisher

NOT sc2, NOT with blizzard.

again people: differentiate the difference between publisher, and developer, and activision blizzard vs blizzard.

1.
lol...
it was modified out of the source engine from HL2, not HL1...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_engine
gosh u cant event get ur facts rite...

2.
do u know it cost to come up writters for plot, designer for single player campaign, unit design, cutscene rendering...
that 2004 engine is called source engine (its not brand new for TF2, its brand new for HL2)...
so did i mention anything wrong?
it was not develop from scratch (same as the previous engine it tried to use GoldSrc)...
don't tell me engine development doesn't cost $$$...
and do note, a game engine is inclusive of physics as well as AI...
thus a new engine is much more expansive then reusing a old engine...
u do know that the subsequent sc2 (expansions) is cheaper (announced before) because they dun have to develop everything from scratch...

wut valve did was just rebundle everything and sell it back...
it uses other games for what the game itself is lacking...
all u QQers happily mention TF2 over and over again (not orange box) till it gets stale...
dun compare apple with oranges as i've mentioned multiple times...

i just lol where u just have to whine about EVERYTHING
thank god the majority does not think like u...
else every company would have to be doing charity or reusing old engine to make cheaper games...
seriously, go stick to ur orange box and not QQ about every possible news about sc2...
if u are not sick of it, we are...

Get girl first then worry about parents later.

Q: Then it seems like you won’t even have time to see your girlfriend after becoming a progamer. Why do you need to maintain this intense practice schedule?
-We need to give up a lot. We need to give up everything that belongs to ourselves, only then can you becomes rank 1, 2. I too gave up everything before coming here. I haven’t even thought about getting a girlfriend. I don’t even see my friends often, only occasionally during holidays. Every day is practice.

the difference was blizz have their own game engine that is working great as a results...
TF2 used source engine and only did improvement on some area like facial expression...
the other aspect of the engine remained the same...

more like the hybrid as the next generation of xel'naga since the xel'naga are not immortals...

Do you think there are still “unbeatable” or “overpowered” strategies?

Any thoughts on the lack of chat channels, LAN, and server segregation?

Thanks for the collection of feedback and the constructive tone. Always appreciated.

We're fully aware of the concerns that are being discussed in the various threads, on fansites, detailed through kitten videos, etc. and we're in the midst of working on a comprehensive address that should hit most of the major concerns. Just a heads up.

Thanks for the link!

Anyway after reading the quote from Blizzard I just wanna nip-pick alil on the quote and analyse:
@ the bolded sentense, does that mean that we can't choose which region to play on the fly just like the old battle.net? We have to pick which region. Wonder if it require extra payment etc.

The blizzard had media day for starcraft 2 today, and they have announced few things.

1. Starcraft 2 will be free for WOW players. While you have the wow subscription on the battle.net account, you can just play starcraft 2 for free. (so its not wow subscription anymore, its battle.net 2.0 subscription)

2. There will be no package for Starcraft 2, Blizzard will only sell digital download copy. the price will be around $59

3. If you don't want to buy package, you can also buy Starcraft 2 subscription, one day subscription will be about $2 and one month will be $10

4. There won't be Adult version (if you didn't know, they cut all the scenes and made it teen version)

5. There won't be collector's edition

What do you guys think? I feel sorry for Korea. Well wow players will love this policy

So many people wanted blizzard to announce the collectors edition for Korea today.. now blizzard took out the regular package from them.. Seriously, digital download sucks..
I know that package market is dead in Korea, but I also know that many people would still buy blizzard's game.

In pro-gaming, BOs can be a very big deciding factor. Look at Bisu when he came back from Thailand hibernation. Fuah... BW fans were proclaiming the return of P god (something like that) but it only lasts a few games once his so-called heavily-innovated BO was dissected to nothing.

In pro-gaming world, you can be pretty sure that almost everyone have more or less the same level of micro & macro as you so you gotta rely on something else to get yourself ahead. Micro-macro can be trained up & will remain with you all the time but a particular BO can only be used until someone is able to come up with a perfect counter.
