Why did Starcraft die as a franchise?
>>
Focusing on gookclicker multiplayer esports instead of making a fun game. Also the ansolute cancerous fanbase that insisted they do that.
>>
Same reason HoTS died. Blizzard was so fucking lazy and incompetent that they refused to properly balance the game. They nerfed reapers and other things out of the game completely and forced metas. Whether this was because they didn't know how to balance them or because the devs were just butthurt is unknown. Same fucking thing with Hots. The game balance was so broken for almost two years that it was just repellent to normies that were used to LoL or Dota.
>>
2's story was retarded and then Blizzard realized that selling foot porn and fag skins on Overwatch raked in even more money than the nation of Korea could ever pump out

The action game will come out eventually, maybe.

No console ports. I don't want to play games in my office, I want them in the living room couch and play with a controller.

Starcraft always struck me as a franchise that has a lot of interesting lore and concepts but somehow they could never actually find a proper place for them in the games
I don't even remember where you were supposed to get all the extra Enslavers missions in Brood War besides the ones that came with each copy
>>
SC2 was designed to be a competitive "e-sport" from the beginning instead of being designed as a fun game that happened to be good like Brood War
That's why Brood War endures and SC2 flounders.
>>
They canceled Ghost
>>
RTS doesn't make the kind of profits they want
>>

Starcraft doesn't have to be an RTS

>>743408493
too hard for your average player

Blizzard gave up on it. Their leadership began parroting the blatant lie of wow's horse army generating more revenue than sc2 did in its entirety. With that rumor started they were safe to abandon it entiely without upsetting shareholders.

SC2 Co-op was surprisingly popular. Shame it was manned by a skeleton crew that couldn't keep up with the demand of the playerbase.
