Oh shit, Blizzard are in trouble then, about 300% of their sales are in Korea!

I bought it yestersday and i dont have really fun with this game, the controlls are completley outdated, like the 12 units cap. I also think its stupid how i cant play it on my PS4, i though no one should be locked out? I cant even use the real time lighting because i dont have 2Gb video ram.

double u double u double u dot come on now dot com.

Of course Blizzard wants to paint it as a massive success, but did anyone ever really expect it to be?

It merely acts as a cheap gateway drug, and a way to keep their legacy up-to-date.

StarCraft was ported to consoles. It was a colossal failure next to the mighty power and glory that is the PC Gaming Master Race.

It's a remaster. Not a remake. The investment isn't going to be in the 10's of millions.

* The limitations is what gave the first game it's charm, you are forced to work around them to be better than your opponent.
One of my major dislikes is the reduction in general management/increased automation in StarCraft 2.

The 12 unit limit means you aren't just going to create one death ball and only micro-manage that one big lump of units... StarCraft 1 forces you to break your forces up and be more strategic.

Besides. Don't like it? Don't play it. It's that simple. There is StarCraft 2 if you wish to have the modern improvements over StarCraft 1.

* And the reason why it is not on the Playstation 4 is blatantly obvious.
Your input methods are inadequate, clunky and slow for a game that has such a heavy focus on APM/multi-tasking/micro-management.

It's also not a full new release, it's more like a patch over the top of the existing game and you just unlock the enhancements by paying for it.
I doubt blizzard wishes to build multiple versions of the game that has such a small reproduction budget anyway.

* Upgrade your PC instead of complaining about your inadequate hardware.
Having less than 2GB of Video Memory means your Graphics hardware is Old/Cheap.

I have noticed a massive increase in multiplayer population in Oceania since the release of the Remaster.
I can actually get a game in now.

It's far from dying.

It hasn't sold 10~ million units like the base game, but did anyone expect it to when there is a free (Albeit Lesser quality) version available?
It's hard to beat free.

The only solid sales numbers we have is that the 20,000 limited physical release in South Korea sold out in the first day. That's it.

The Playtime in an internet caffe' isn't representative of the success/failure of the game, especially across the entire planet.

Rest assured, Blizzard still rakes in the billions of dollars, continues to support the glory and power of the PC Gaming Master Race and will continue to live on, sorry to be the bearer of bad news. ;)

See this just proves that you serve to make threads where you point out how bad it is for a company to invest in PC and they they should either focus on consoles or make a prot of a game that had no deal being on consoles in the first place.

Heroes of the storm was designed to work on PC's, with a M+K, the same with SC1-2. ou can pull that SC 64 out of your behind for all the world to see, but it still doesn't matter to today when SC II was entirely developed for PC up and down. You've seen how Koereans play, with a gamepad you'd be playing at such a lower speed and then some.

It's obvious that I'm not the only one here that's picking up on your bad vibes towards making threads on supposed bad news for PC gaming. You seem to sit back and wait for said news to crop up and then you rush to posting it, even cutting out the good parts or the half full glass side of news, that Vivster pointed out.

What are you even on about?. The game supports ranked matches and allows you to even choose which region to play those matches in:

The game even supports an APM counter, which most of the competitive players would end up using. Game seems to run fine aspect ratio size on my monitor, so I don't even know what that's all about either.

Because, funnily enough, they wanted it to remain faithful to the original. All they have done is given it a new coat of paint, updated to run on modern OS's and the animation viewpoints being changed (while also allowing for a zoom in feature, as well as an APm counter being built in).

Of course you wouldn't have fun with it, because it sounds like you never grew up with the original like some of us here have. I've played SC I-II and like how they kept the the original. Yes it could do with adding 12 unit group support and miners automatically going straight to minerals when built, but that would honestly mean that the remaster would follow SCII and not the original vision, which is what Blizzard wanted and I'm fine with that decision.

The game doesn't need to go to PS4 and it wouldn't play all that well on the gamepad either.

"no one should be locked out", mate you know damn well that PS4 has it's owne xclusives, how come everyone else is "locked out" if they have theirs then?.

You don't have a modern GPU?, that's your own fault. You elft PC gaming, that's on you, no one else.

You made stuff up as in A ) The article never said it was a huge failure and  B ) I said in one of my original posts that it just means the player base stuck around, which the article also says. and C ) Every other statistic the article says besides the PC Bangs is positive ... so it's clearly not a failure, just not a huge revitilization

And there isn't an agenda behind this thread ... ? LOL

The article clearly says in the end that SC should except death, thats what you call a huge failure
