There seem to be 300,000 active players (on a quick search). Extremely popular in South Korea I believe.

Like I said, no one plays it anymore. 300,000 is nothing.
Blizzard has other games that have 5-10 million active users at any given time. So, 300,000 users is nothing, which translates to free game. If this business model doesn't work for SC2, they will drop the game from their lineup, or divert all resources away from it and let it dry up.

I'm holding out for the next augmented reality game that requires my kids to clean up the dirty laundry off their floor to find the pokemon. Oh look they must be hiding under that stack of dirty dishes too...no? Maybe the vacuum cleaner. Those little monsters are so sneaky.
The poke balls can only be collected out in the yard and you have to run them over with the lawn mower. Ironically the balls are all lined up in rows....

Ah, what a game that would be. Looking forward to it, in this lifetime, and the next.

You'll probably get a better win record sitting at a desk in a wheely chair. As long as South Korea is sleeping when you play anyway. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A new survey from ServiceNow illustrates that intelligent automation must become part of any transformative developer’s bandoleer of capabilities — a realization driven by the fact that some 86 percent of executives surveyed globally feel their companies will soon hit a wall and, by 2020, will need greater automation to get work done. You know what would help speed the transformation? Some kind of automation.

More evidence that executives are truly out of touch with the world of software.

1) Do you believe your company needs more automation?
Yes.
2) What would you automate?
I have no idea, but automate we must!
3) What if you just let new hires fill out paperwork on line?
Great, how much will that cost?
[An amount is given.]
Never mind; let's automate something else.

The wall is the one said executives were frequently concussed by banging their heads against until they became dysfunctional enough to become executives.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

Some iPhone users have been left frustrated after an update to the iOS operating system started inexplicably auto-correcting the letter "i" to a capital "a" and a question mark. If there was one letter you think would be easy to type on an iThingie?

Obviously using letter 'i' is a patent infringement and iThingies are smart enough to shield users from penalties

As we look to build squishy, human-friendly machines that have the look and feel of soft natural organisms, we need to look beyond the rigid materials used to create electrical switches and circuits. Sorry, I flushed the computer down the drain

It seems that there is no limit to human ingenuity when it comes to working around limitations within one's environment. Because all this is easier than just implementing HTTPS?
