> Launching a game like [...] Starcraft 2

They can't even keep the lights on for SC2.

We [the community] have been designing our own balance patches for the past five years; and our own ladder maps since +/- day 1 - all Blizzard was to do since 2020 was to press the "deploy" button, and they f-ed it up several times anyway.

The news of the year so far is that someone has been exploiting a remote hole to upload some seriously disturbing stuff to the arcade (custom maps/mods) section. So of course rather than fixing the hole, Blizzard has cut off uploads.

So we can't test the balance changes.

Three weeks left until EWC, a __$700.000__ tournament, by the way.

Theoretically SC2 could become like Brood War, with balance changes happening purely through map design. Except we can't upload maps either.
