Well Blizzard didn't announced or market it as F2P. They just openend Starcraft so people can access all modded content. In the end SC2 is for them still a full price game
Also i don't see any business model for a free2play RTS game

Re: AOE III Server Beta Test
Well if u offer AOE3 in steam sales for cheap money, u will make urself a really bad name if u shut down the multiplayer service now. I think only EA does not have to care about that :D I am pretty sure that they work on AOE4 and that they will put much more effort into multiplayer than usually caus...

Re: AOE III Server Beta Test
They do this because proably the (physical) servers and the operating system of the old servers are so old, that they usually would shut them down ( like they did with the zone in 2005 or so) Now they migrate it to a new operating system and server so they can offer the service ESO much longer as th...

Re: WCS replays season 1&2 released
GOM has no say in that since it is WCS which is run by Blizzard and GOM is "only" partner.jerom wrote: That's not true, they don't get the WCS korea replays from the GSL.
Previous GSLs we even didn't get VODs for free (except one-two years later)

Re: Obtaining data on ...evrything
No they are actually stored in xml Files (="plain textfiles", u can open and read them with every texteditor), which are quite readable if u spend a bit of time on XML. People with deeper knowledge can even program a parser, so the data is put into a different format. U can even read them ...

Re: Xbox Marketplace down, AoE:O shut down next July
I already thought before launch, that a shutdown after such a short time will happen if the game is not successful. It is even before the 5 year when consumer products for M$ run out of support. Well but i got enough playing time for my money. I don't think that it is the best for the franchise cons...
