Shio you are the Blizzard Defence Force. If you are going to accept to be treated like this by a game company so be it.

So tell me, how is changing from 3 small campaigns to 1 huge campaign and non-linear be a bad exchange? I didn't see anyone complain to Relic when they did it with Dawn of War and Company of heroes.

And the other 2 campaigns will be optional, you are not forced to buy it. It's a win-win situation Imo.

Explain to me why is it bad?

Because the other 2 campaigns aren't optional. This game is essentially made for the online play and they said that they're modifying the online with each new campaign. This can be translated as "Hey, we're going to make your version of the game obsolete occasionally and force you to buy it again, enjoy" or alternatively as "We're going to rape your wallet".

 

what the hell.... so your problem is that Blizzard is making expansions????????? Dude, just about every big game on PC has expansions, and every Blizzard game had expansions.

And another thing, expansions would only make SC2 obsolete for the professional players, because for the average joe it won't make SC2 worse if you dont buy expansions...

 

 

Listen Shio, I know you have a hard-on for anything even remotely related to PC but are you really this eager for a deep dicking from Blizzard?  It's like the moment it's announced a game is on the PC it can do no wrong no matter what. 

The gameplay sucks BUT IT'S ON PC!!!! IT'S BETTER!!!

The graphics sucks WHA...BUT IT'S ON PC!!!! PC GRAPHICS ARE BETTER!!!

The game won't run on my computer...OMG NOOB BUT PC'S ARE THE CHEAPEST THING OUT THERE!!!!

They are trying to make you buy the game three times LOL BUT IT'S BETTER THAN GEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!11

-edit - and no, I'm talking about Starcraft in all of those examples before people start thinking it.

Can you honestly tell me that you are going to enjoy buying three products that should be one?  Can you honestly tell me you want to pay for Blizzard's delays and not knowing how to properly scope a project?

If you want to be that much of a sucker then by all means, go ahead.  You are the target audience.

And as for your professional players comment, that's bullshit.  If I don't buy the expansions then that means I just won't be able to find games online because I can't play with the suckers that enjoy throwing away their money.

Of course despite what people think, I don't actually play Starcraft for the online.  I always loved the last one for the campaigns and never even touched Battlenet.  I'm not buying the game three times and unless the total is under $70 I'm just not going to buy it.

Players shouldn't have to pay for their ineptitude.
