I promise to make more explanations next time and already made a poll as Reasonable suggested (brilliant idea, thank you very much). I found very interesting what storkfan said in the last post. The question is not how many pros will stop playing SC2, but how many fans will they lose. D3 won´t destroy SC2 like KESPA almost did to BW, but D3 is a very atractive game for foreigners. So it may change the focus on SC2 and pros may lose a portion of their fanbase. | ||

If SC2's population dropped, it wouldn't be permanent, even if HOTS wasn't announced yet. | ||

Think about it though, when HOTS is released LOTS of people will switch back. D3 will make the amount of softcore players drop for a good amount of time. The hardcore D3 will play D3 ALOT and the hardcore sc2 will stick with sc2. | ||

Once they get bored, they may switch back to SC2. So I'm confused... is Starcraft the only video game that exists??? Does this mean that once diablo 3 comes out, the playerbase will be cut in half??? holy fucking bricks shat batman in space! Actually I think all you guys need to realize, that Diablo 3 will have almost no noticable impact on ladder, other diablo portraits, silly character names, and poorly made references... All this really comes down to, is whether or not a player WANTS to play on the ladder. If they want to play on the ladder or participate in other ways, they will... If they don't WANT to do those things, they could find any other number of games to play: i.e. Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3, Star Wars the old Republic, World of Warcraft etc.etc. and on and on... or maybe they own a console... holy fuck can you imagine? (i don't but no one cares about me)... I guess what I'm trying to say is, do you think Diablo 3 is hyped enough (and by enough, i mean more than BF3, codmw3, tes:skyrim, SWtoR, etc etc) in order to effect the player base MORE than those games did (because I didn't notice much change with those... did you?) I'm not convinced... Diablo 3, as a PvE scene hasn't generated enough Hype to draw significantly more players from the starcraft establishment than any of the other major titles of the last 6 months. | ||

When D3 comes out, im gonna play the shit outta that game. But i'll still keep an eye on the sc2 scene and probly still watch the major events/finals. Until Hots comes out and steals my attention back. | ||

I think D3 is hyped enough since it's being waited for more than a decade already (just like SC2) and the release drama is just like SC2's too. It was one of the main motivations to make this thread... | ||

I played D2 back in the day but that was a long time ago. MMORPGs are such an epic time waster IMO. | ||
