Blizzard is "looking at free to play as an option for the multiplayer" in StarCraft II,
reports StarcraftN, quoting lead designer Dustin Browder during a panel discussion at the
Valencia eSports Congress. He also notes that the nature of their RTS sequel may not make this worthwhile. "We don’t know how we would monetize it," he adds. "While it might be good fun for me to play against someone with only half the units available to them, that’s not going to be an enjoyable experience for them." Thanks

Poker is big now because its stupid easy to make money off of providing a thorough fair for greed. I mean if you want it to be an esport, you got to get real life cash pumping into it and back to the players. No diff then poker as you say. |
