I took 1 week break from SC2 last month when ME3 came out to play through single player. I sometimes play a little ME3 multiplayer with friends. While D3 will probably take longer to 'finish', there's nothing stopping you going back to play a bit of SC2. | ||

This process will repeat itself a few times until i find the balance between the two games and play both intermittently. its the circle of life ive been there before with d2 and BW No pk deaths in hardcore! YAY! | ||

I'm also a kinda worry to leave SC2 when I first play D3 because I stopped playing BW immediately after playing SC2 for the first time (although I still watch bisu, flash and jaedong games). SC2 was just like a dream come true to me and still is. I used to play D2 and it was also VERY nice. The poll must be inacurrate by now, but I feel a little disappointing to see so many guys willing to leave SC2 (despite I might do the same thing). | ||

This. ill be playing D3 and might give SC another go at hots. But so far im disappointed with how they approached overall mechanics and the balance issues in the different stages of a match. | ||

Starcraft 2 - Train 12 hours a day for practice, very little/no money in smaller tournaments, no sponser if you aren't known, really dependant on being lucky and taking a game off someone well known, having a good personality or creating a buzz around yourself with drama...so you could literally play Starcraft 2 for 12 hours a day every day and make 0, even if you're top 100 grand masters Diablo 3 - Play the game 12 hours a day, if you understand the economic aspect of the game and play constantly then you WILL make something, even if you earn $3 an hour, that's $252 a week for doing something you like playing(and $3 an hour is a very low estimate if you're good at the game) | ||

Poll: Will you keep playing SC2 after D3 release? No! (127) 38% Shocking. Its been 2 years, i would have thought those still playing the game atleast had some sense of loyalty, or commitment/love for starcraft 2... Are this many people really just blizzard fanboys that will jump ship the moment the next game releases? I knew some would, but 38% is a massive stretch, if we get anywhere near those numbers overnight it will have a massive impact on the game and the entire scene | ||

Outside few lucky drops that few people will get anyone who thinks he can earn somethink like 252 dollars/week will be in some serious wake up call. Thats for "normal people". Proffesional farmers with 8+ accounts, multiboxers, hackers, botters may earn a lot but there will alway be fear of account ban. | ||

Majority responds to a poll question, not the topic of a thread, as the last is not visible on the poll page and the first is clearly. You are making a wrong inference to justify initial false observation. The false observation is that 38% will leave SC2 for D3. This is not true, because the majority of SC2 players have no intention to play D3 and do not browse D3 section of Team Liquid, hence do not vote in the poll. What can be implied from this is that 38% of SC2 players that intend to play D3 are likely to quit SC2 at least for a while. And anyone who played D2 on battle.net knows that it's realistic and likely true. So we can conclude that if 10% of SC2 players intend to play D3, 38% of them will stop playing SC2 for a while. In this case 4% of SC2 players will leave for D3. If the input variable percentage is 20%, then 8% will be leaving SC2 for D3. In any case, SC2 player base shouldn't decrease more than by 10% upon the release of D3. | ||

I'll probably stop playing Starcraft for 2 weeks or so get rusty as fuck in 1v1 hardcore play Diablo 3 with friends, then chill out and do it casually if I don't feel like 1v1ing or just dont feel like Starcraft I'll go play Diablo. Exactly like I did for Skyrim, this thread is pretty silly as it's forcing answers in absoulutes of I will stop playing starcraft and so on | ||
