ХВ, in my view, is too small to be considered the target audience.

Even so? Where else will they play it online? Where is the main online platform, and not just for testing?

And yes, everything must be convenient, for the people. This is one of HotA's basic principles, and not only in terms of the interface.

Thanks for the fatherly care. My heart just warmed up. I felt it immediately.

Notice the almost complete absence of verbal propaganda for HotA (I think you remember how TE/VT were promoted). It is partly because of this.

Yeeess, now those used to be real flame wars, not like nowadays. This time they went about it more cunningly, unobtrusively and gradually. So as not to accidentally trigger a gag reflex, but rather to awaken interest.

To repeat myself, the goal is not to seize territory or audience from SoD; the goal is to test HotA in online play and grow a certain number of regular players.

Well sure, and then it will somehow "happen on its own." A sort of metamorphosis from a "training ground" into a traditional base. Not all at once, but gradually, with an influx of new players who may later become the majority, and will vote for and support whatever is needed, etc. Well, basically like the fox and the grapes.

The fact that games and tournaments for SoD will continue in 3, 5, and maybe even 10 years (if Heroes as an idea hasn't died out by then) seems to me a historical inevitability, and if so, what is the point of fighting it? Correct, there is no point.

Thank god for that.

The opinion of the non-target audience is of interest more out of general curiosity; in case of conflicting interests, the decision will be made in favor of the target audience.

Simply put, Wick says - I don't give a damn who voted what or how. And how many of you there are, whether you're the majority or not. What matters is whether I consider something important or not. :D

And regarding this "convenience" talk, for which players exactly? HotA? Most of the population of the third game actually belongs to a section that doesn't end in /forum/section/62/ and doesn't enter it; essentially, that is why you've tucked yourselves in here. That is the main reason, not some mythical convenience. No one is stopping anyone from entering poker or politics threads; those who need them will find them anyway, right? But many don't even suspect they exist. And probably many intolerant SoD players find it inconvenient to see this filth mixed in. There are separate sections for WoG, TE etc. Why not go there? No problem. It's a question of logic. But HotA players and promoters find it more convenient to see all this right here :D That much is clear.

On a positive note, this can be considered a success—someone saw you as a competitor. And any holy wars raise the level of interest in finding out what this is. And if you add that all the "strongest players in the world" play it... :D Then even more so :D
