Yah Starcraft won.... deserved it a lot more than Halo.
Halo's a good game, but Starcraft is the most selling PC of all time, and that's saying something. 3 years after its release it was still in the top 5 (sometimes number 1 spot) for best selling game of the month.

[Rion.]

Of course Starcraft won...
It actually IS the best game ever.

[Verthanthi]

I can think of many better games.

[Gemfire]

Subspace = M.A. game ever.

[Richard Creager]

I can think of many better games.

Many better games is an understatement.

[Dameon Angell]

that's how big Starcraft is, considering they still hold major tournaments for this game is also another point. what really should make a game "all time best" is game longevity. if a game keeps many, many people entertained for years, that definately would make it a candidate for best ever.

[PaulOakenfold]

And considering the sponsors of pro-starcraft players pay BIG money... like 100k a year for most, is another big thing

[Verthanthi]

Titanic made a lot of money.
Brittney Spears sells mammoth amounts of cds.
A whole shitload of people voted for Bush.
Almost everyone else voted for Gore.
Someone actually went to see Episode II.

Anyone see what I'm getting at?

If you knew Blizzard, you'd know they're no record company.
Especially in the days of Starcraft. They have quite a few morals they stand by that many entertainment companies don't. They have the largest online system in PC gaming, and it's free, and they plan on doing so (World of Warcraft is a different story, the servers are huge so there will be a monthly fee to help pay for the SERVERS themselves... where none of the money will actually hit the high-ladder people). They spend months beta testing, stress testing, and asking the public for balancing issues, before they even RELEASE a game. They come out with frequent patches to correct system errors as WELL as balancing issues. Their games are relatively cheap compared with other games that don't even HAVE free multiplayer capabilities.

I'm not asking you to have Starcraft as YOUR number one PC game, but please don't diss Blizzard and compare them to many other major corporations. Just from friends that have worked there and do work there, I know that they play a much different company than others.

[Sleepy Weasel]

Um.... no one was comparing blizzard to anything. It's a great company that has produced great games.

Just starcraft isn't the best game ever.

[PipArchDevil]

What was the point of posting the picture of the movie?
It's kinda disturbing.

[Mayo Inc.]

Nice pic jermoe but what the hell is it

[ZeUs!!]
