You buy this game because...

[Supremax67]

... you are sticking it to Blizzard. I guess people have a short memory of how many times Blizzard has screwed gamers over. You fight back by giving cash to the competition. That's a no brainer.

But don't buy this game thinking its a finished product, you'll be missing the point of what Early Access stands for.

SC2 also is casual friendly, when you start. If you never touch Versus, then there is nothing particularly hard about it. Its campaign/co-op has difficulties from "casual" to "brutal". There is something for everybody.

Damn, I thought that you buy games because they're good.

I don't really see why a game like this, with its dubious monetization, is any better than Blizzard.

At least with Blizzard I used to get a finished, functional, great game for a single one time payment.

Here I get... nothing that looks remote interesting to me.

The old Blizzard was not greedy. For ex. I remember that I got a Warcraft 3 box in Poland for around 30 bucks, when it was new. 30 bucks only, for a FULL game, top-notch quality, etc.

Yes, and that was 20 years ago. Now i am not saying FG is not costly but i am saying you are not taking into account time span and inflation. Back at the time of warcraft 3 i could buy one ice-cream that i liked for around 0.10€ and now that same icecream is nearly 1€

So I'm curious, how much are you willing to pay for all of this game $300-$400?

RTS has come a long way since Starcraft 2. You should play some of the newer stuff, it is ALL a lot more casual friendly.

Ok. Which modern rts
Has an integrated but that can to the macro part of the game for you?

Automatically add units to groups

Automatically assign buildings to hotkeys and give you a clear ui so you can manage all your bases easily?

Age of Mythology Retold, AoE2DE on consoles, Spellforce 3...
Company of Heroes 3.
None do teh 3rd one, because tehre is no need.

why so many people think automation would be good for the RTS genre?

no one in FPS games is asking for the weapons to automatically aim and shoot. (well except for people who want to use cheat programs)

They want to crack into the mobile market and the actions per minute needed to thrive in an RTS game is too high for mobile devices, so they're trying see how automating stuff goes.

I never got into the Age series as much as Blizzard but AoM's... lets say, weirdness, always intrigued me. And it's obvious that a lot of thought and effort is being put into the remake/remaster(I'd say it's more of a rethought).

So... it was kind of a no brainer. 😛

I buy games that are good and games that bring me joy. This one does neither.
