StarCraft II is Year's Biggest PC Game Launch [Aug 03, 2010, 11:06 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty sold more than a million copies in 24 hours and 1.5 million copies over the first 48 hours of availability, announces Blizzard. They say this makes the real-time strategy sequel the biggest PC game launch of the year, and that this sets a record "for fastest-selling strategy game of all time."
I don't know, I didn't take it that way. I think he was basically saying that it demonstrates to publishers not to innovate and that only sales proven gameplay techniques should be used. Starcraft 2 is many wonderful things but it takes literally zero risks when it comes to the RTS genre. However I don't think it's Blizzards responsibility to move RTS forward and there are times when genre throwback is exactly what people are looking for. Anyways the rest of the industry has had a decade to improve RTS and other than Company of Heroes, I'd say they've largely failed. Maybe RTS can't really move forward, perhaps people like it just as it is.
So you spent some time turtling in MP and are unhappy with the game?
Wrong, I have played it, the 14 days trial. And I have seen what this game offers and it isn’t much at all.
