Blizzard is gearing up to unleash the greatest doodad renderings of all time

[TheEconomist]

Awesome! I was hoping for an update on the current state of the random tree rendering algorithms!

The Starcraft 2 team has been hard at work on sidewalk doodads.

Just my humble opinion, but I still think that investor's don't have any interest in when a beta starts. They want to know what financial quarter the cash will start flowing from game sales.

We are more likely to hear an estimate on release date during that call than we are a beta start date.

Are you kidding? Start of beta is the point of no return. Beta HAS to last 4-6 months, once you start beta you've pretty much disclosed an undisputed retail release window that investors can rely on.

SC2 is only a small portion of Activision Blizzard, and most big investors aren't going to be particularly interested in the release date, and if they are then the textbook "SC2 is on track for a Q2 release" is more than enough. They aren't drooling over beta like we are, and ATVI stock won't budge an inch.

You honestly think investors don't really care about when a game that can easily be the highest grossing videogame of this year is going to be released? This latest quarter had MW2 rake in like 1.2 BILLION dollars, and if they can follow that up with starcraft 2 sales later this year, I can guarantee that stock will take a nice climb.

Seriously, think about it. If it's ONLY for investors then why is it publically broadcasted for everyone? If it was only interesting to stockholders and they wanted to make it easier to watch then they would have some way of allowing them to access it on the internet privately.

It being public is a very, very, very important fact and it means more than most people realize.
