I donât think you understand what he said. He meant that as long as there are people willing to play a game, that game does not die. Even a minimal player base is enough to keep a game alive. If a game drops from (random figures) 10 mil to 10k players, that game is still alive as long as it has those players. There is a very long road from shrinking to actually dead.

first time i have ever heard grubby sound a bit out of touch using W3 as a comparison is hardly legit considering that W3 didnât go through the debacle that the company and this game are currently going through which has left even casuals feeling disenfranchised

I love Grubby so much but I have to agree with you on that.

You got the Trash Knights after you now. Run!
You mean yourself?
Yep, 100% âaliveâ if a game loses more than 90% of the playerbase. You can live with no eyes, arms, legs, nose and ears as well if you want to be in the land of literal, same with just living cause a machine is hooked up to you.

Eh, people are just angry and picking a target to lash out at.
Iâve got broad shoulders, this ainât my first rodeo. I see people damning me that I normally got along great with, and Iâm sure in a few weeks weâll all go back to getting along again.
Itâs just the nature of society at this point in time because of the popularity of outrage culture.

Yeah, idk, just imagine the impact a drop like that has on ranked play, some tiers would be absolute nightmares to populate. Sure the game could be technically alive with even just 10 players but is it really?

I mean thatâs just life, you can get along with someone fine but have differing opinons on things, like that support thread of yours about the alex games I commented in a few times but there are things like this whole situation where my opinion is different. Same thing with Grubby, I love him but I have a different opinion than he does here.
I donât mean ill will towards you personally by disagreeing even if the wording implies it in any way, just really pissed off at Activision and that comes through some of my posts.

Grubby spoke like a representative from a corporation. He has been kissing blizzardâs butt for years. TBH im disappointed at his response. But it makes sense cuz he still needs income from blizzard.

His changes of games were never under the same conditions. Even though he is basically right about a lot. His holyholy attitude is a bit tiresome tbh. And then shamelessly self plug in the same breath. Pretty bad.

I like Grubby, but this is nonsense. Itâs significantly harder for a game to stay alive with a 5v5 format with required group compositions than it is for a 1v1 game. Itâs also pretty cheap to say âeverything is fineâ when youâve ditched the game in question.

Grubby at the core is an RTS player; the one game he went pro was SC2.
Meanwhile, when BW was remastered a lot of players were called back for a month or two, and even some big SC2 players who never played BW, but 90% of them came back to their home games.
I think grubby will be back to Heroes⌠eventually.
Yes, but the whole 90% drop thing is huge dramatization and hyperbole for the sake of argument.
But if my team league search times ever consistently exceed 2 minutes, I will let you know.
@grubby still playing
/Player/MatchHistory?PlayerID=224335
Add hotslogs before that and you see how much he plays it. 4 games since the start of november. Not sure if he uploads but chances are good that it is <10
@his opinion
Ever heard a bad/critical word from grubby? No? Maybe he doesn`t want to get the mewnfare-treatment from blizzard (=being ignored + never invited again to anything)
WC3 is a 1v1 game. As long as 2 people are online you can play. If you come back to a game like that, you can pretty easily play. So people can come and go and it just keeps running.
Hots needs at least 10, we got Queuerestrictions, different modes that split up the community even further (and rainbowgames already happened before). If you come back and don`t find a game, you will just leave again and assume its dead. You wont really stay around for a few weeks like you might in a 1v1 game that lets you instantly play
- People leave now because they are fed up with how they handled it (I just uninstalled because I dont want to support a company that treats people like Blizzard treated the HGC players/casters)
- People will leave because of less updates
- People will leave because of lower Matchquality/longer waittimes
- No new people will come because the game has the stigma of being shut down now
The downward spiral to death has been started and wont be stopped unless they do something (and they wont)
I mean I played Diablo3 for a pretty long time. I know what âreduced devteamâ means from Blizzard. Now some people leave, a few months later another bunch and by the end of the year you will get a ânew season starts at Xâ every 3 months and thats it

Grubby won the 2004 and 2008 World Cyber Games representing The Netherlands, and has been considered the western worldâs premier Warcraft III player ever since.
He is known for his strength in international competition winning such tournaments as the 2005 Electronic Sports World Cup and the 2006 World Series of Video Games.
He was signed with British based Four Kings, until the teamâs 2008 dissolution. Grubby has been a key player throughout his professional career. The Four Kings Warcraft III team was recognized as the 2005 eSport Team of the Year. Individually he has been recognized as Warcraft III player of 2005, 2006 and the eSports Player of 2006.
Known as the â[Orc] Emperorâ in televised leagues, he has been considered one of the worldâs best players.
Seeing as how they retouched the game it is no surprise that he would go back to it.
