OT: Starcraft II and Elemental

[sector24]

It is my understanding that Stardock is both the developer and publisher on this one, so I'm not sure what you are getting at. Even if someone else was publishing Stardock's game I don't see it would help to explain game mechanics to people who don't actually make the games. What is the publisher going to care about your ideas?

Even the constructive threads are full of fail though. For instance in one thread the guy posted suggestions for making the magic system better, because basically right now the elemental damage spells are identical and the spells lack distinctiveness. So he gave all these great suggestions, then got mobbed by the fanbois and the thread got locked. Stardock chose to have this open beta process; the least they could do is listen to the people that pre-ordered their game and did their best to improve it. Again, not surprising but it bothers me all the same.
