Blizzard gives away starcraft for free Patch#
In the last patch which was a looong time ago, they still stated “we remain committed to delivering you these features.” Well, way, way too much time has passed, and the team that wrote that was also essentially fired.Īs noted, t here’s still a possibility of updates once the new classic games team (headed up by vicarious visions) is done working the kinks out of D2R (which, while having some launch issues, turned out far more successful) Then the large number of refunds pretty much deterred any real hope of things getting straightened out. Hard deadlines ruin games and that’s what happened here. They did delay it once by a small amount (I’d hate to have seen how much it would have been if it released by the first date) but corporate greed reared its ugly head. The game had a release window set way, way, way too early. Impossible deadlines imposed by activision. Eventually the plug was pulled before it could be fixed. They made some poor decisions at times and these stacked up into problems.
Someone on top please think further and deeper.
Blizzard gives away starcraft for free series#
Look at Age Of Empires II and see how Microsoft can still get money from this game and the whole series in general (who say RTS is dead?). Plus, this game is one of the few RTS games that people still can play as an e-sport. Normally it is costly but it will be the best option if this company still wants to go in the long term. This is the time Blizzard need to recover the fame and the trust (include recent incidents). Especially after the success of Diablo 2, Blizzard can rely on that to “resurrected” War3. Putting the glory of war3 and the loyal fans going through, this absolutely not worthy.įixing the new graphic for the loyal customers (who did not REFUND), adding the old and new features (like a ladder) to attract the newcomer. This game and community need a place it deserved to be. But it all from the hand of this small community like back2warcraft, w3champion, and lots of enthusiastic individuals. This is a miracle when this game still survives then. The graphic is garbage, the ladder is missing, the game is a ton of bugs.
Last year, when I can not see any hope for war3, tthe old version is purged, the new version is can not play.
The problem now could be from the company head. Mention that to imply that Blizzard has excess talents and resources to make a decent game, even if they got some mistakes (or big mistakes), still capable to correct what they wrong. This is the biggest moment, we now confirm that Blizzard now can make a remaster to a 3D game, this game is even harder than War3 when coming from 2d to 3d. Just look at D2R, I had to say this is the successful remaster game of Blizard - even slightly better than SC1 (and I dare to say D2R can be one of the best remaster games in the industry in recent years). Why Blizard did do a big mess to this game, how can it fail, when to it coming wrong?.
I just thinking about the most favorite game of mine, War 3. After a couple of days of playing and yet still is so hyped up with Diablo 2 Resurrected.
