Original Gamer: "The Kotaku article that took a jab at competitive gaming really threw me for a loop. No, it wasn’t what Kotaku's Jen Schiller wrote. If you listened to the Original Gamer Podcast episode featuring Jim Sterling and Ben Paddon, you would realize that I, along with many others don’t take Kotaku that seriously. What surprised me, and broke my heart a little, was that the biggest haters of the competitive gaming scene were other gamers."
This week, Blizzard Entertainment dropped both 'StarCraft: Remastered' and 'StarCraft II Campaign Collection' into PC Game Pass.
Hopefully these get released on Switch and Playstation, along with Age of Empires. There’s a severe lack of good RTS games on both those platforms.

Let the COD on GamePass experiment begin!
I would think their quarterly revenue will take a hit compared to a year ago, but will maybe make up for it throughout the year as the monthly GP subs keep coming in
Was up with call of duty man?
I downloaded cod on gamepass and for some reason I cannot access the game.
just curious what version? There are some that you can pre-load, but they wont work until their release date later this month.
I have to redownload it again for the 3rd time to check.
I ended up just deleting it to make room for other games after the second time.
It was on Xbox game pass, I didn’t know there was other versions. I just downloaded everything, but sadly I couldn’t even access the game. Maybe 3rd time the charm. I’ll download it again.
On xbox there is the last gen/current gen versions pc though you could also get a xbox version.
When that new forza first came out for one day they had the xbox version on the pc store i was like ? what it was odd.
On xbox you can easily download the one version of a game instead of the series version so you run into issues on your series console.
Because a game won’t run after I download it??
Man your kids must hate your @ss if that’s how you think.
It's going to be very interesting to follow up on how the new entry of CoD will perform at the box office, player numbers and distribution of Xbox, PC and PS versions this year.
I got excited thinking they ported StarCraft to consoles but it's just the PC version. Also, I thought Starcraft 2 was already free to play.
Yep.
Why people hatin'?
I dont HATE competitive gaming, I just have no interest in it unless i'm apart of it. I don't like watching other people play video games, its boring to me. I rather play. If im stuck watching I usually find something else to do.
As for competitive gaming, I dont see why people hate it either. Its like sports, you gotta be interested in a team or something or else its boring as hell to watch. Personally I dont pay attention to it or really care to be in a majority of it simply because the games that thrive on them usually suck....why not have major tournements centered around more complex games? Instead of games that are easy to learn and be good at.
Also if the circuit was bigger and more availible to ALL gamers, more people would find an interest in it. If I could easily compete to be in it i would probably follow it more closely.
people hate cause they either give up too quickly or they suck
it takes one article and turns it into a pandemic.
