Once premier american gaming franchise/IP reduced to scraps being shared between four chink companies. Oh how the mighty have fallen. I'm still upset that they cancelled Starcraft Ghost and did nothing to compensate for it. What a waste.

Gooks not chinks. I say fuck it let them have it, not like Blizzard could do the franchise justice any more. Of the four, I would prefer Krafton.

Fuck it, while we are at it, retcon everything back to the end of Brood War. I want the heavy metal, gritty western, and 40K Starcraft of the 90s not the Firefly shit they did to 2

Starcraft is best when it's 40K but the space marines are just part of the imperial guard.

now throw in a bunch of references to sci fi franchises and maybe one warcraft joke somewhere.

Remember when the only unambiguously good people were Raynor and Tassadar.

Making jokes about how there are three races instead of two is probably racist somehow.

I don't know why you're surprised that Koreans want to get their hands on Starcraft, it was more popular in Korea than it ever was in the US.

It's basically the crown jewel of gaming IPs in Korea and whoever gets it is going to invest all their resources into that fucker. So on the bright side, at least we'll likely get a non-turbo shit Starcraft in the future.

The koreans have to get their hands on Starcraft. It's as ingrained in what's left of their culture as ramyeon, k-pop, kimchi and injeolmi.

Eh, I'll just say it. The entire problem is pure cowardice. It can be logical to keep your head down and do the "both side"-ism, but Both Side-ism is always intellectually & morally dishonest. That's what ends up grating on people. This is why the Roach Lord is at the top. Not always the smartest tool in the shed and possibly the single most pragmatic streamer around, but he'll actually confront topics head-on.

I disagree slightly. I think there is a way to shit on both sides while not sounding like a fence sitter, but it requires research into each sides positions and making your own nuanced opinion that makes both look like tribal shitflinging. For example, you're not a fence sitter for thinking troons influencing kids to transition on Discord is a bad thing while also thinking "pray the gay away" Christian teen camps are also bad. There's a common principle guiding this opinion (leave the kids alone). The problem is that most "neutral" content creators try to act above it all in order to not alienate too much of their fanbase and have no convictions of their own except $$$$$. Even this dude in the Youtube video is kinda spineless or at the very least lacks a critical eye. He couldn't finish the game because it was so boring, but he still calls it "fine". What?

Found out the reason why they are being passive aggressive about Inzoi

Their website revenue is floundering so they're ramping up the rage bait with the unnecessarily derogatory adjectives. "Eerily"

We actually don't disagree. A creator can simply say "I don't know enough about this topic to not sound stupid, so I'm just not going to address it". That's where the cowardice comes in, because it takes strength to deal with hard topics and at least enough to admit you're not in a place to say anything useful about it. A bomb showed up at the door and ignoring it is really pathetic.

Capcom's statement on 10 million in Monster Hunter Wilds sales.

Say what you want about the game being dumbed down and too much of a bland story, but this is how you move product in the industry. Capcom likes money. This has probably cleared half a billion USD in sales.

I'd put money down on a Star Craft revival falling flat. People have fond memories, but it's been a decade since Star Craft was big in Korea. It has history, but that's about it.

And given the history Star Craft has in Korea, you can bet your ass that a revival would be hard esports focussed.

You wouldn't get Star Craft.

You'd get League of Legends: In SPACE!

Does this mean they'll make a game where you play as the monster, wrecking shit and people everywhere.
That is a game I would play obsessively.

Starcraft 2 profoundly shat the proverbial bed. You should never kowtow to esports and tournament faggotry.

Instead of going for the 68 different slam dunks he could've gotten Billy on, and what he promised he was suing for, turns out Karl is a subhuman retard who tried to prove Billy lead to someone's suicide, and lost.

This is why lawyers ask you to shut the fuck up and let them do their jobs, now he lost the good will he had with some of his fans and who's to say if they'll ever donate money again if/when he needs help again, only thots get to keep their paypigs no matter how bad they fuck up.

Jobst pulled a Rekieta lmao. What happened to not being like Jirard and wasting your fans support mate? It really is embarrassingly impressive that he lost such an easy winnable case through his own autism.
