Do you trust Blizzard?

[spychi]

It's SC2. Of course I'll risk a pre-order (of the CE, no less).

Hell, I'd buy it if it had absolutely nothing in it but the single-player.

I will go and agree on the singleplayer part as it is worth stand alone, yet as a gamer with standarts I can't sit on my ass while they kill the network design for other people

Blizzard products are constantly being improved, I believed 'perfect' is relative considering it's impossible for anything to be perfect due to everyone having unique perceptions. It will live up to expectations, grow and eventually go beyond them. In my humble opinion, i think most SC fan-sites seems to be way to full of themselves (TL) and their self-importance. Just because they feel like they know a game well they know how to make a new game. Blizzard is also a company, there's a profession called Business and they must adhere to those principles while making a game. Do i agree with all the decisions? No, namely the whole chat and friend situation, however when it comes to the game i have no complaints.

My position.

Really, putting the term "Perfect" into the poll was not a good choice of words.

[spychi]

ok so let us pretend that instead of perfect the word "awesome" is in there

well... i only trust in my family and my friends, and even they had stab me in the back a few times xD, so why i should trust in a videogame company? =P

Blizzard products always improve over time as history shows

Well, everything besides WoW. But let's see what cataclysm will bring. Not that I play the game anymore (waiting for SCII), but I'm still active on my guild's forum.

I really hope Battle.net will improve, and I believe it too, but the time Blizz made landmarks in the gaming industry, is now many years back, and it would seem, we all want improvements on those specific landmarks made years back, but the internet has changed and will change (ofc) in the future, and by the looks of it it will change towards more commercializing and thus favoring big buisnesses, and the whole "keeping us in a shroud" from blizz' part is a bit worrying.
By signing more and more stuff just in order to play and use an internet-based service in a world where the internet is more and more privatised is worrying to me, I just hope for the best. (Never forget the internet was developed for military purposes back in the 70s-80, and was taken up as an academical way of sharing information afterwards, but is now almost entirely privatised.)
With Blizz' huge experience of pumping money out of people, that power combined is at a wee frightening.

Ooops... Derailing. I don't know, but I hope I'm satisfied with both B.Net and SCII.

I believe Blizzard wants SC2 to be the best game it can be, and over time it will be awesome. But I also believe they've made some stupid decisions and aren't exactly interested in fixing them or learning how to make better decisions.

I don't trust anyone really. My life experiences have taught me that I shouldn't. Then again, I too have been back-stabbed countless times by my family or the people who claim to be my 'friends'. So, no, I don't trust Blizzard. I don't trust any company or corporation no matter what they claim their intentions to be. And while I may not trust Blizzard, I hope that Starcraft will live up to my expectations.

I trust with my life that Blizzard as a company wants to make profit. :P

Atm I don't really. I've been unsure of how this product will turn out after the Acti-Blizz merge (it didn't really concern me at first) and the microtransactionfest that WoW turned into during the late TBC. I'm just not sure I trust this company any more. I really hope I'm proven wrong with SC2....and we don't get something like paid name changes and server changes...

[Kknewkles]

've voted for the third option, because I already see things not to be perfect in my understanding.
I'll be glad to be wrong, if they fix things.
