Well, bad devs are more expensive than the good ones in the long run... And it was a very long run.

yeah I dunno how they break down those costs? hotels/flights for the past 2years drumming up the hype, executive bonuses?

its already 2years late imo, specially considering SC was released in 1998

anyway fuck blizztard future vision and realid discriminatory censoring shit, and I ain't buying this 1/3 of a game, its laced with shit I never wanted and plenty of things that either got took away or weren't done better.

I have to agree. It's been over a decade. I'm not really interested in the game. The videos and feature list seem a little weak for over ten years. I've switched my rts gaming to other companies and titles. Maybe something is wrong with me? Dunno just can't get excited about the game.

Well I got the beta, played it and thought to myself after a few hours. Not Interested. I am also not interested in it's networking capabilities/Battlenet. I removed the beta and couldn't care less. The day they made WC pay2play I said F U Blizzard and really never looked back.
