Look. Here's the fact.
Except for the few of the people here that are actively playing SCII competitively, SCII is not all that popular. The most popular competitive game in Malaysia has, and will be DotA and its variants for the foreseeable future. Unless you can make SCII as appealing to Malaysians when compared to DotA, this will happen all the time. |

QUOTE(FXOUnstable @ Nov 30 2011, 04:02 PM) We are not disputing the fact that majority of gamers play LoL/Dota. We are purely talking about the way malaysians view the events. I think you would agree swap sc2/Lol/dota around and the same issues would arise Based on what I've seen. If you swapped out SCII and replace it with DotA, you will get a crowd regardless of whether or not there is free shit being given out. |

QUOTE(SiewKaiz @ Nov 30 2011, 04:16 PM) malaysian gamer mentality just weird Malaysians are cheapskates.SCII RM200+ = exp dota alot ppl play coz free HoN/LoL = free but somehow those free skin,champ etc etc = exceed 200+ yet they feel it cheap MMORPG = F2P but cash item = used more than RM500++(previous me) yet they feel it free coz hey it is F2P game i got few dota fren i got ask them play sc2 b4 they all just say to me it is expensive n yet they all got ps3/xbox at home while i dun have any one of those malaysia gamer just weird thats all i could say boss LoL/HoN , and F2PMMORPGs are popular because they don't have to pay a single cent upfront. If they want anything from the item shop, they will willingly spend the money to get it since they will think it is cheaper. DotA isn't free per se, its just pirated from hell to back in Malaysia. And with those private servers, hamachi and flying spaghetti monster, they don't need to pay a single cent to play it. SCII on the other hand is 200 ringgit upfront or no game. Guess which will appeal more? |
