Whatever happened to Starcraft II? Did it just... die?

[–] Blizzard 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It released 14 years ago...

Your point being? When was League released?

League of Legends. It was released in 2009 and is still one of the biggest eSport games today.

Still exists, gets occasional balance patches from that one guy still working on the game. Hasn't received an update or content for many years now though.

As a huge StarCraft fan I hope stormgate can fill that void for me.

Hopefully they'll make adjustments to the game. The unit limit was my biggest issue with it.

Apparently, blizzard released a single mount in WoW that generated more revenue than all of SC2 Wings of Liberty.

And that's why you don't break your game up into 3 separate full price "episodes"...

Its still around, hasn't died yet, any patches are community driven now though, but there have been a few

Hoo boy. Day 1 (of EARLY ACCESS!) and it's already MTX galore.
