[quote]Did I ever say I wanted Starcraft II to be "exactly" the same as SCI? No, I didn't. I said similar. But generally, decent sequels improve on the original, better graphics, fix bugs, more units. You don't go backwards. Again, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.[/quote]Yeah, you didn't say that, but StarCraft II is just "exactly" the same, in many aspects.

[quote]Saying doing it yourself is troublesome is hard to believe, as it's old technology -- games have done it for years. If LAN, direct IP connections, players hosting, etc. is considered from the beginning, that's troublesome?[/quote]It's because of the peer-to-peer system of Supreme Commander (or the Moho Engine in general).

In terms of revenue, Supreme Commander 1 did really well, according to Chris Taylor. We don't have exact numbers, but it supposedly sold around 1 million copies world wide. I think that's mainly because it was something new, a lot of people tried it out because of its awesome factor and there was a lot more promotion going on. However, the downside was, that the game itself wasn't very polished and had tremendous system requirements and that probably put a lot of people off again. The

[quote who="SpardaSon21" reply="79" id="2639508"]I'm sorry, Supreme Commander 1 and Forged Alliance were "niche market games"? If SupCom is a "niche" game, then we might as well write off RTS games from any large developers now.[/quote]I didn't mean that RTS in general is a niche market. "Hardcore" strategy games like TA/SupCom/FA only appeal to a small portion of the RTS community. The RTS market is dominated by C&C3, Halo Wars and *Craft of course. Which are in many or some aspect

[quote]It's supposed to be similar, that's the point of a sequel. It's what is expected of a sequel. Why the **** would you mess with something successful. How is it narrowminded?

Why is it wrong to expect a similar experience to the original in a sequel?[/quote]Of course it's not wrong to expect something similar.

Steam is used because it benefits benefits players, publishers and developers a like. Of course there are downsides or various aspects like you have shown that players might not like. But from your point of view... since you are talking about options, do you want the developers to implement all kinds of matchmaking servers, just for the sake of options? Like doing IFW (or whatever it is called in MW2), GFWL, SteamWorks, Impulse::Reactor etc. all at the same time, so that players can c

Yeah, it's done when it's done. If they found an issue, the release of the patch will naturally be put off, until GPG had time to fix it. And since there is probably only one or two guys partially working on Demigod when it's needed, this can also take a long time. And then it has to be tested again, etc.
