See I dunno, in the art world (ha ha) it's a truism that people are overly comfortable and don't know what they want until someone makes the 'next essential'.
Sure oftentimes the next essential is just a flash-in-the-pan trend, and sure, there's "no such thing as an original thought blah blah blah", but sometimes the next essential is talking pictures.
I think that those rare beautiful works of genius that flip everything on it's ear are every bit as important as the slow measured gains of the prudential plodder. Something can be new, yet also be lasting and balanced. It's simply a matter of the amount and quality of work and thought devoted to it. It seems ignorant to
me that anyone could say that all new things are inherently poorly-made.
Hell, you guys are ALL making a lot of really strong blanket statements, but reality doesn't work like that. There are always exceptions and strange things going on... except when there aren't! making new stuff is part of this.
EDIT: Wait. You reply to my post with "maybe" and then go right back to talking exclusively about Starcraft 2. If Frocto isn't really talking about Starcraft... what's the point of doing that? I CONFUSED.
EDIT2: My paragraphs above have pretty much nothing to do with StarCraft.
EDIT3: esport? [record needle scratch sound]
Oh god, please don't do that again.
Please?
