False Release Dates Piss Me Off

[DemolitionSquid]

Don't wanna screw your time D, but isn't this the wrong forum?

Its SC related, so no.

Anyway, if you look at the store's site, it also appears as Coming Soon though no release date is given.

The site has no release date.

The card that hundreds, thousands of people will see in Best Buy's all over my city and yours says March. Its a blatant lie, and I'm sick of this kind of shit.

Dang, so Squid's Canadian. Learn something new every day.

I mean, all in this site is Starcraft related but shouldn't this be more like Issues/Feedback? I though this was to discuss Gameplay or the like.

Future Shop, Eb Games and Game Stop all have the same cards and its angering.

[The_Blade]

That means the same guy designed the cards...

Yeah, it bothers me but not nearly as much as those who think a million Dawn of War expansions are fine and Call of Duty yearly sequels are grand but yet StarCraft 2 being expanded into three full products of awesomeness is somehow an apocalyptic sin which will doom us all to the eternal fire.

Basically, what I'm saying, if a topic needs to be made threatening a group of people, I think it should be the ones I've mentioned The companies posting false pre-order dates are doing it out of the sake of money. This is capitalism. It makes the world go round and has brought mankind out of the darkness of the past.

The Dawn of War expansions were well made (barring the last one that wasn't made by Relic). That and they were priced as expansions, not full games.

Blizzard hasn't specifically labeled HoS and LotV as expansions, or that they're going to be priced as so. If anything, they've said stand alone which is even more indication that they're going to price them as full.

The most likely reason why retailers are giving out release dates even though Blizzard hasn't even come close to releasing one yet probably has to do with place holder or marketing reasons, I'm gonna bet it's marketing purposes.

I wouldn't be surprised if the beta came out in late march or early april, but it sure as hell ain't the release date for the actual game.

I can deal with call of duty and dawn of war yearly cause they can usually add new things, its the yearly sports game releases that sell millions that blows my mind, sports gamers=pants on head retarded.
