So, one more step to have new bosses around here, kinda hope most of the blizz dudes get kicked out and some people actualy good at balancing games and not kissing the top players will come and fix some problems here, what do you hope microsoft will bring on?

At this point I’d just be happy with a dedicated team who handles balance and co-op commanders.

The Starcraft game is, I believe, a decade old by now the former starcraft all went out their different ways even Husky Starcraft is no longer his former self. I missed those good old days of him announcing gameplay but I do have to give him some respect to just retire and quit to save his voice. Go retire old man.
The best thing Microsoft Games can do to Starcraft is take noticed the dwindling 200k community to grow it somewhere 500k to 1M active players by introducing incentives and equally balance. I also will have to agree maybe its time to lower the value of Starcraft to free or affordable so other newer players can grow the community, get Starcraft back to its glorious days, and provide us an active community.
The first thing Microsoft Games needs to do is make Starcraft balance for everyone new and old players.
Nothing. How do you imagine SC3 or WC4 on XBox? I am pretty sure that Microsoft would not be interested in creating a PC exclusive game.
Its not like they havent done it in the past?
Age of Empires II, III, and IV are all Microsoft games. That said, they might not be interested in making more competitors to those games.
I thought that Relic (developer of AOE) belongs to Sega and MS just collab with them.
I had to look it up. Ensemble studios, acquired by Microsoft in 2001. Age of Empires II was first released in 1999, so I was still wrong.
Either way, Microsoft owns it now. Age of Empires and StarCraft might be different enough as RTS games to avoid being direct competitors. I’m not certain about that–Although I do play both.
I’m hoping they finallly get rid of the stupid computer bot that is plaguing NA 2V2 ladder. It’s not like the community has NOT been reporting the creature for the past 2 freaking years.
That means we’re definitely getting a Starcraft III, but it might not be what some of you are expecting. The priority will be accessibility, meaning a few of the sweatier game mechanics won’t make it back.
I am not so certain about this. If the executives decide that the USP of Starcraft is hard mechanics, they may attempt to make it about mechanics more.
