An unethical idea to increase Spring's player base

[Aether_0001]

Just make something that looks almost the same as SC1 but not quite, and that makes diehard SC1 freaks play spring. Getting players from SC2 is hopeless.

SC1 models were already redone in 3d for a WC3 mod.

Although ultimately it will probably never happen. The most you can do is rename spring.exe to starcraftinstall.exe and upload it to every dodgy website you know; based on how successful the "Here you have" virus was there should be loads of people stupid enough to install it and think it is starcraft.

The best way for spring to get better is if more and more people start contributing code and art to make better games. There is simply no easy win solution; its just lots of hard work and there are few people in spring with the combined skill, time, motivation, and awesomeness to contribute.
