No, because newer RTSs exist. I have more fun playing games where I am not spending the majority of my time giving orders to small groups of units repeatedly, individually sending build orders to each production facility, manually sending each new worker to the minerals, and trying to keep every dragoon from getting hung up on doodads they should be easily able to path between.

Judging by the few biggest discord server hubs around (the foreign Brood War one and the ones offering help, discussion and controlled competition to beginners) there's at least a few hundred players in the west and people get at least curious about getting gud at it
Foreign interest is large enough for a few Korean teams forming to compete in foreign tournaments like STPL, for Tastosis to keep casting ASL and for independent shoutcasters to pop up

I wonder if my old pentium 3 machine can still play an up to date starcraft. Last time I checked the game ate up a whole gig of ram just on the main menu without even having the HD graphics purchased or enabled.

I mostly play UMS, my timing and reflexes are not good enough to play competitive. I rarely break 30APM, don't scout nearly often enough, and my multitasking falls apart the moment I hit midgame. Still enjoy watching the pros play.

Protip, if you want to use the most recent updates and the newer pro level maps, but don't want to use the launcher or even have the launcher running, make a shortcut to the broodwar .exe and add "-launch" to the end of the target without the quotes. You can still play online, you just need to login to your account. The login screen is new, but still the same process as the old battle.net days. You still need the launcher to update, but you can close the launcher right after you finish updating.

Who knows. He must have decided against it because he makes at least 400,000 USD in donations on stream a year. There's no telling that he could make that kind of cash if he gets out of the military as it's impossible to tell how big the scene would be.

Probably not. BW is legendary but developers look at it and think "how do we make this more approachable". People love the idea of the game but the high skill requirements legitimately scare new players away. It was a weird time in history where a huge company would make such a game and the industry today has moved far away from that.

I still play it. It's pretty godlike.

It's actually too good, which is a problem. Starcraft 2 is still inferior.

Broodwar will probably never be topped.

Pretty sure the latest patch will require at least a Pentium 4 for SSE2 support. They did that with the latest Diablo II patch just by compiling the Blizzard error reporting tool with a newer .Net Framework or some garbage. You might be able to play up to version 1.16 without too much trouble.

For fucks sake, figure it out. We're talking about Brood War, not AoE2. We want to discuss a game with three distinct sides to play as, not a game with a dozen clones with 2-3 unique units to differentiate them. Make your own thread and stop acting like a little bitch.
