Personally I think of StarCraft 2 as Blizzard's last good game. It was the last time they made something new and didn't cut it up to sell to you in pieces.

    They were the GOAT for SC:BW, D2:LOD, and the first couple years of WoW.

    SC2 has done well over the years but I remember being really disappointed when it came out. The original's campaign was so gritty. Playing each race, you felt like you were in this strange scifi world. It was brilliant.

    The SC2 campaign was so bad. Cartoonish, one dimensional characters. They made zerg and protoss more human like and boring. They were already focused on making their games sports, so single player was not their focus at all. I was fine with the esport focus but not at the cost of making it more cartoonish.

    I was so excited to play the SC2 campaign when the game came out. Starcraft and Brood War was my life for years.

    I was so disappointed by SC2 that, to this day, I haven’t even read the wikipedia summary of the expansion campaigns. Never bought either of them. I stopped playing around the time they introduced paid maps (in 2010 or something). Playing competitive was good, but UMS was botched just as bad as the campaign when the game was new. That was my most anticipated thing after the campaign. Even now people mostly only play the same 3 UMS maps.

    The original game still holds up too. We got robbed of a good sequel. And don’t even get me started about diablo 3 lol. RIP blizzard.

    Edit: did some googling and it turns out they announced, but did not implement paid maps in 2009. Map micro translation did eventually get implemented though.

    I watched SC2 on YouTube on and off over the years. UThermal is worth checking out, he's a great player and super positive self-conmentator. I'm pretty sure I've watched SC2 a lot more than I've played it. Which is sort of weird for a game...
