Oh look, it's OP again with another thread that is supposed to highlight how PC is such a terrible platform. I'm shocked.
Of course he falls yet again into the trap that he doesn't know shit about PC gaming or the market. The fact that SCR never had any chance would be obvious to people who know that RTS have been eclipsed by MOBAs and that people already have and enjoy SC2. But of course it wouldn't be obvious to someone who has no stake in PC gaming and just wants to randomly shit on the platform.
BTW also part of the article that OP did not want you to read
Perhaps the glass-half-full viewpoint is the right one to take. StarCraft: Remastered failed to bring Korean players ‘back’ to StarCraft, but they had never gone away to begin with. As previously mentioned, StarCraft was already alive and well. Esports was bringing in crowds in the thousands, while the game had commanded a respectable 3~4% share at PC bangs for years. To some extent, StarCraft didn’t need to be Remastered.
Maybe that’s just an idle concern. StarCraft has had an extraordinary run in Korea, where it was celebrated as a national pastime, an esport that rivalled traditional sports, and as the game that defied all conventional wisdom about longevity. At this point, it may be too much ask for anything more. After all, part of growing old is making peace with one’s mortality.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
