My personal opinion to why SCS has such a negative response is EA is trying to attract more people to the SC fan base while thats all well and good in itself the type of gameplay that newcomers to the game might want doesn't represent what the experienced player expected out of a new game. While I realize that many people's desires as to what should be included in SC5 were a bit much to ask for the information that we have about SCS shows us that is not truely what WE wanted. And those who say that we don't have enough information to judge I entirely disagree. We have been shown what the game will look like what it will play like and the additions to and things that have been taken out of the game. To me that is enough to go by. I saw the first screenshot and wasn't impressed but kept an open mind, I read the artical and became more sceptical, I found out that there will be no zoning, no taxes, no real budget, and no utilities, I began to think that I didn't like the game. Then I saw the video I decided it most likely wasn't the game for me. While tried to mantain a level-headed outlook I also did see the melodramatic and childish outpouring of hatred which certainly could have been restrained, but certainly there has never been a game met with such negativity and thats why I say that maybe the game isn't marketed entirely at US (and it would be self-absorbed to think that it was)
