As opposed to making games from scratch? SC already provides high quality 2d art/animation, and a robust server/client networking system (b.net) with an established player base. So you can focus on the gameplay and not these other components that can take several orders of magnitude more effort than mapmaking.
Why I make games? One of these reasons is usually enough: - I created a unique gameplay concept that can become a fun game - I find a good game I can turn into a great one - Someone requested it and it sounds like an interesting project
But in case you were looking for a different kind of answer, something along the lines of "passion", I'd say "As far as the innermost motivation - either you have the gaming bug or you don't." - az
