Some time ago, Blizzard updated the "StarCraft 2" thing, to put it bluntly, this update can obviously be seen, Blizzard's perfunctory degree, we do not say how Blizzard's update is, however, has anyone considered a thing, from the current Blizzard's attitude towards StarCraft can also be seen, Blizzard's treatment of StarCraft is already a lukewarm attitude, then, Blizzard will not completely abandon "StarCraft"?
Because in my opinion, the possibility of Blizzard abandoning StarCraft is very high, we can see the action of Blizzard in StarCraft in recent years, and we don't know what's wrong, Blizzard has been in serious trouble over the years, the game is also a variety of deaths, as early as last year, Blizzard has announced that it will stop the update of StarCraft 2 paid content, it seems that this is no problem, but in fact, I think about it carefully.
Once a game stops the update of paid content, it means that the game's profit model is completely terminated, to put it bluntly, that is, StarCraft can not make money at all, a game that does not make money, who do you think will want to continue to operate in this game? This is not what I said blindly, we think about it, you are a commercial company, you must want the game to make money, but a game can not make money, what will you think of this game?
Nature will not treat him well, which is also a reason why the national service of StarCraft 2 often has various problems, because the national service does not make money, NetEase has removed the server, resulting in insufficient server units of StarCraft 2, and it is inevitable that the disconnection and various server failures will be inevitable, so, in this way, the end of StarCraft 2 is also about to come to an end, or in fact, It has given up StarCraft 2.
So, when we think about it, the question is, will Blizzard completely abandon StarCraft 2? The answer must already be obvious, however, I think Blizzard to give up StarCraft 2 is certain, but to say that giving up StarCraft, this is really difficult to say, because StarCraft is not good, but the value of good IP is there, if Blizzard from time to time to make a nostalgic suit can circle a wave of money.
But the question is whether Blizzard can maintain the StarCraft player base today, which is the topic that Blizzard should consider, because now the popularity of StarCraft is gradually declining, and the number of players is also greatly reduced, if Blizzard no longer maintains this game, the next game situation can be imagined, it is likely to be completely abandoned by players, which Blizzard does not want to see anyway.
So how to solve such a problem? Quite simply, that is to launch "StarCraft 3", there is no doubt that as long as Blizzard dares to come out of the sequel of "StarCraft", even if it is not "StarCraft 3", it can maintain the heat of StarCraft, once the heat of the game has passed, the player abandons StarCraft, the game will completely disappear from people's sight, but can Blizzard do it now?
Can only say Amitabha Buddha, the current Blizzard is most likely not willing to do so, after all, if the sequel is launched, it is all real money and silver investment, in case the cost can not be recovered what to do? Not to mention that there are so few StarCraft players now, there are too few people who can pay, even if each 1,000 yuan is not enough to recover the cost, so Blizzard gives up StarCraft is a high probability thing.
