Thread: Starcraft 2...split?

Bullshit. Complete bullshit. God damn Blizzard, trying to get as much money as they can out of anything...even though they'd make TONS off of the single game. Ridiculous.

All I have to say is..they better not do something shitty like this with Diablo III.

Boo fucking hoo, big bad company wants to return profit to its shareholders not give a bunch of pimple-faced nerds and koreans an undervalued product.

How terrible.

Anyways. At first I was very upset about this. However I looked into it more, watched some more videos at blizz-con and thought the whole idea over. While I would still like to see this as 1 huge game but the current state of SC2 is not all that bad.

My only concerns are with battle net, the cost of the trilogy and how long it will be between each release. If the game is epic, I couldn't care less about buying 3 times. I did it with diablo 2 after losing disks and CD keys, I'll do it with SC2 if it's good.

Edit: Oh there is one thing I really don't like. If I understand it correctly, each game will be its own install. It's a minor issue but one I do not like at all and one that could produce some negative results down the road. I would have much rather seen this as a combined install as you get each game. Almost like an expansion but each game comes with a full install and if you already have one all you need to do is upgrade with the new campaigns. I think it kind of leaves room for the possibility of Blizzard making separate expansion packs for each game which sort of milking the game for money. Even if It's a great game I don't like that possibility.

That makes better sense because the sales of and responses to each installment will help them predict which campaign would do better with advancement and which can be ended at the first installment.

Do people just not understand that gaming is a business?

LOYALTY TO THEIR CUSTOMERS! BLIZZARD HAD IT, NOW THEY DECIDED TO MAKE MONEY. THOSE BASTARDS!

Seriously, new age, new business models, people will pay to entertain themselves and take their minds off their financial woes.
