We all know that many game types on the market today are born from RTS games, just like the MOBA game type that is now on fire, as well as the tower defense game and e-sports are born in RTS games, and even "StarCraft" has opened the peak era of e-sports, it can be said that "StarCraft" can be regarded as a generation of memories, but such a childhood memory, now seems particularly lonely.
In the eyes of many players, even I, a player who specializes in StarCraft, think that the current StarCraft is dead, because the current fire is the world of MOBA games, but if you can understand it carefully, you will find that in fact, StarCraft is not dead, just because there are not many players playing, so that everyone feels that StarCraft seems to be really cold, why do I say that StarCraft is not dead?
First of all, after I took a closer look at the game market, I found an indisputable fact, in fact, StarCraft is not dead, in the market is still a well-known leader, everyone thinks about it, in recent years, the hottest game market is MOBA games, however, MOBA games have a huge drawback, is that everyone does not know to find no, that is, the loyalty of gamers is not very high.
But where there is a more attractive game on the market, minutes can be swept away a lot of players, and starcraft players such as RTS, but will find that the loyalty of these players is very high, because most of the games that are on the market now belong to the kind of lightweight entertainment, these players have low cost of getting started, after low difficulty, there is a lot of trouble, that is, the loyalty of players is not too high.
On the other hand, StarCraft does not have such a problem, which is why the StarCraft update frequency is so low, a cooperative mode has been played by players, but there are still many players willing to play, even if now the official announcement of the change, StarCraft online number can still account for a very large majority, next door "Red Alert 2" more than 20 years, but there are still players to play the reason, and even players themselves are willing to update the game content, it can be seen how high the player's stickiness is.
In fact, it is not StarCraft that can't do it, just because the players are too few in comparison, we see, now there are many games that live more than a hundred thousand a day, even like the League of Legends next door are almost a few million, but there are not many games that can maintain a stable number of players like "StarCraft" for a long time, because StarCraft has an advantage, player loyalty is super high, making it difficult for the game to appear like CF.
Moreover, even if StarCraft is not updated, players will continue to update, if you don't believe it, you go to see the game hall of StarCraft, you will find that here, you can open the door to a new world, because in this place, you can play a variety of extremely rich things, even League of Legends can play, enough to see the charm value of this game, in this case, StarCraft is difficult to say cool.
However, although the game is not cold, but you do not expect to be able to fire, most of the current players are that kind of lightweight, like StarCraft side of the strategy and tactics of the game, few players will be willing to take the time to learn and study, because the future of this game has passed, which is why Blizzard will "StarCraft 2" difficulty greatly reduced the reason, but even if the difficulty is reduced, it is difficult to save the player.
