There is a poll going on at 1up.com that asks,
“Is Starcraft 2 a day one purchase for you?”
1) Yep? Can’t Wait!
2) Eh, Ill get it eventually.
3) Nah, not for me.
4) Pre-ordered the Collector’s Edition while wearing my Blizzcon 2010 t-shirt.
And the results are number 3 in the lead with 43% of the votes, and numbers 1 and 2 tied with 26% respectively!! I don’t know about you guys but this really floored me. I thought that the 1up community would be all over Starcraft 2, but apparently almost half of them don’t give a shit at all and the rest could care less about getting it on release day!
I’m not saying that people should or shouldn’t be into this release but I just had to make it known that this HUGE gaming website and cultural hub was coming up with these numbers for a game I thought would be at the forefront of many many more gamer’s radars.
Ok in the spirit of this post I’d like to ask this question to our readers:
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being very excited) how excited are you for the release of Starcraft 2? Leave your answer in the comment box below.
I think this is because 1Up readers are primarily console players. It’s like going to BluesNews and doing a survey about Halo … no one would care.
Regardless, if you remotely like strategy games, Starcraft 2 must be given a chance in the very least. This is a game that’s defined a genre.
Yeah I just thought 1UP being one of the biggest gaming culture sites out there would have a big enough following across all platforms that enough people would respond more positively to one of the biggest pc releases ever.
Did that make any sense?
