their cms suck, and am not ranting and trolling, but they honestly suck. maybe take a peak at sean at swtor official forums. there, ppl actually learn from their mistakes. like only few days ago, he said dont expect any major news for next 2 weeks. and after that ull know it will be something good, and in that time ull still get update every single friday at the same time. and like they said game is atleast 1.5 years away, not letting ppl quessing for months and months hoping it will be this year. and here i still remember chris and that lore guy in the interview almost 1 year ago to the date, saying we hope to bring sc2 to the players this year.

ppl at swtor forums are worried at what will 1.5years do to the hype for the gome(nothing imo), but i hope sc2 sales suck. i will buy the game, all three, and i will always buy blizz games, but i hope they have like 5mil total sales so they fucking learn how to properly do things. i just LOVE how mass effect 2 was announced 8 months ago and its becoming the best selling game in the history of ever:)

sry for the long post, i just had this in me since i almost didnt go with my hot gf on vocation last summer hoping i would miss beta start. good thing she doesnt know am such a nerd.

I think what's "idiotic" is calling the game design philosophy of one company "the wrong way". The design philosophy of Blizzard has made them the most successful American video game company in history. I love BioWare, and I love Mass Effect 2, but Blizzard makes more money in a month than they will this year. And yes, that's what it comes down to for a corporation in a capitalist country: making money.

I would also like to point out that I love Mass Effect 2, I've beaten it twice, but I also understand that it's a completely different ball game than StarCraft 2.

We're talking about a single player action-rpg game here, maybe 30 hours (maximum)worth of gameplay for a playthrough, versus an RTS with dozens of units that have to be balanced, while meeting the expectations of the entire world to match what's considered the crown jewel of strategy gaming, with full multiplayer and years of longevity to consider. BioWare made a game that people will globally be done with in a year, unless they are late to the party or going back for nostalgia. Blizzard is responsible for creating a title that will be constantly and prominantly played by everyone for at least 5 years; if they don't, it will be considered a "failure".

Um, the closest Blizzard got to "everyone" was WoW. And I'm fairly sure that there are more than 12 million gamers in the world.

Wait, so you're saying EVERYONE in the world won't play Starcraft?

Thanks for making this mind-blowing point. For a second there I really thought he literally meant everyone, all 6 billion plus of us.

and second,gifted, ye sry for calling your opinion idiotic. if i feel something is idiotic, it doesnt mean your idiot or moron or something else, just poor word selection on my side. i dont think your an idiot, and i like u, and am sry again if i offended:) hope no hard feelings ..

It's all good, sometimes it takes a small comment to help bring out the intended message. I took no offense but think you appreciated the little point out :) I think we're respecting each other equally here, even if the words were oddly chosen.

Sarcasm has a time and place, for some reason I don't know if now was the time... but I do like the idea of 6 billion people playing StarCraft...

I'd be sad if Grammy won my division...

mmm who knows... ¿how many gamers exist in the world?
¿how many gamers plays WoW?
¿how many StarCraft 2 copys blizzard expects to seel?

Lets start a petition to get SC2 integrated into the educational system, starting at Kindergarten. We should reach 6 billion gamers by 2136.

It could be like the new Oregon trail!

We all played that in school right ><

That game was pure awesome. You just gave me a great idea for a UMS. Thanks!

A little piece of news is good news. While I still hold the opinion that the blizzard PR team made some serious mistakes with this game...who doesn't make mistakes? Let's give 'em a break and hope something good happens sooner than "soon™"

Just wanted to let people know this Friday's Jace Hall skit is related to D3 again, not SC2 (or at least I'm fairly certain)

btw Blazur, where is a link to the recent Blizzard insider? on the main website the last edition is still from March 2009

Beats me. Not surprising their website is behind on updates. Want me to forward or copy/paste the email?
