MTV Multiplayer has a quote they picked up at BlizzCon 2008 from
StarCraft II producer Chris Sigaty that's sure to attract attention, as he
says: "We’ve trying to make sure that it’s perfectly balanced for e-sport, but
look — I’m going to try to get my mom to play this game. I mean, I know she
can’t [micromanage] at the level that these pro gamers can, so we’re actually
experimenting back in the opposite direction… so that even the layman can come
in and get a grasp of these cool things in the game." He describes how the
frenetic pace of many RTS games can be off-putting to newcomers, and their
efforts to counteract that.
