im sorry but i agree with him, not in the fall sense of bankruptcy because they are very profitable. But the fact that they will never development a success esport game platform anytime in the near future, and i dont think any other game developer will either. The reasons being that I just personally think our expectations on what is actually an esport game has gone well beyond what developers these days can reach and cope with.

trackmania.

I know it's not what you're talking about, but there are developers with a working esport game platform.

What about SC2?

not even released, how could you know?

It's already had plenty of professional consulting and testing, and everyone seems to think that it's going in the right direction.

It's called HYPE, nothing more...

Your jealousy sustains me.

how can i be jealous at a game? meh, you're blind =)

Keep going.

are there any videos of anything out? gameplay or smth? just asking.

also:

"Everyone thinks that ..." ... So you know everyone, eh?

ye there is a gameplay video looks pretty much like sc with few aditional perks. which is good.

awesome. sc with new graphics. CAN'T WAIT to see all those koreans play it.

and i think i might have heard something similar about a certain FPS.

innit.

No, it's most certainly not SC - but it keeps the spirit of the original game.

By "everyone," I mean everyone who has tested the game so far. There have been several public showings of the game where many starcraft players have been able to test and give feedback, and professional players from Korea have been there as well. There are minor complaints over MBS and the unit selection cap increase, but Blizzard says they plan to offer new ways to macro in order to make up for these changes.

There are some FPVODs from these events, if you want to see how the game looks up to this point.

mbs?

multi-building selection

Good work.

I don't think there will be many games dedicated as an eSport because the area is not profitable yet.

When the scene takes off, we may well see it then but until then we are more likely to see games that appeal to casual gamers that happen to be picked up by tournaments

not a far fall to the bottom...

update

Leon,

I don't have time to really fully comment on this but basically: you cannot expect any game developers to spend time developing a competition mode for their titles - the market is not there yet.

John Romero, replying to my email about competition features in games

I disagree. Increasingly developers are including competition features out of the box, even on console and non FPS games. Slowly getting there.

features, modes, all the same innit

Hopefully QL will give them some room to explore ideas that can fund competition features like a premium service where you pay monthly. Once you have credit card info matched to player identity faking becomes a little harder (and if the config changes were recorded much harder because very few good players now can play with someone elses config effectively and no one would believe someone medicore suddenly got good mid-competition by changing settings) and bans much more effective.

picture the #cpmpickup crowd, arguably one of the biggest Quake pickup channels

now tell me who the fuck would pay to play a game that's been free for almost a decade

stop living in poverty!!!!!!!!!!!

i'd pay to not play with you

they're become money hungry weirdos. that's what success does to you, sry, no explanation needed

how about you donate everything you earn at your job to a company that only produces competition games.
Or are you money hungry like the rest of us?

your reasoning is beyond fail

see that's where you're wrong. while they were weirdos they were making good games. now they're just bunch of corporate drones.

wtf? this is basically what i was saying
game making must not be about business. you've got to do it with passion, or you will not make a good game. when you've got a job to do, and a timeline when you're supposed to be finished, you will not make something creative. when you lay rules on genius, genius will be no more

update

so after a month, you still haven't found any content, got it!

where? O_O

this post has been a waste of my time...
