There you go, here's a pro player talking about how all these changes are going to hurt SC2. Just thought I would put this here since when I look at this a lot of the comments are from people who won't play this game very long anyways, so here is the opinion of the other side of the fence.
As for TeamLiquid thinking about 1 star rating on amazon/just being pissed off:
Gotta side with TL on this one, chat rooms and cross realm play were just 2 parts of what made SC so amazing but without them SC2 is going to suffer big time in the long run. I know I won't spend nearly as much time as I did with SC:BW on Sc2 all because of the lack of chat rooms. It was always great to sit in a clan channel talk to friends about what ever and then just set up a game and play a few rounds of something. SC2 just lost something very important.
Of course 80% of the people on this site are the type to look at SC2 and go "well shit thats a RTS way too complicated for me" and just play the campaign and a little multiplayer until they give up and move on to the next EZ mode game that caters to the casuals. SC2 exists ONLY because of the "pros" that still play the first game (and are now playing the beta like mad men) these changes are alienated the only people who gave a damn about SC all this damn time. Of course having said all this SC2 will still sells bajillions of copies, doesn't make Blizzard right.
