I want to say how great to see the turn over in marketing, or shall i say, to finally have one. Youtube channel improved and more frequently updated. You facebook page feels alive and WE GET QUICK ANSWERS to questions. Those holiday sales seems great and a “beta” of trade system in the coming. And much more. It can only bring good things.
I expected some sarcastic post about devs screwing over destroyers now being useless with all the anti-destroyer thing ig. 
There was a youtube channel, but it was “radio”-like. Facebook page was pretty much dead, beside posts, no active moderator. Now in the OP i forgot to mention their new partnership. For those with twitch channel and youtube, to help promote. More event on website and steam, community related and so on. Before it was the bare minimum and there has been TONS of comments about SC needing marketing. So recently maybe weeks, idk, they pushed on it.
As for the aggressive behavior from those fanboys - every game has that, that is not something unique to this game. It’s a necessary evil to spark discussion.
