Starcraft II campaign split into 3 separate SKU's!

i think people are really overreacting to the situation here, we don't have enough information to conclude whether they are ripping us off or not.

I am assuming that the reason they split the campaign into three games is because the campaign will be massive. Each race will have a campaign as long as the entire Starcraft 1 campaign. So essentially Terrans = Starcraft Zerg = Broodwar Protoss = xpack 3. As far as i'm concerned it's just as good a value as buying the original starcraft and it's xpack.

If the campaigns are really short then you have a reason to be pissed off. But if the campaigns are big there is no problem.

Think about it...you payed $60 Halo 3, a 6 hour single player game, nobody complained. You pay $50 for (likely) a 10 hour campaign, then $20 for additional 10 hour campaigns.

In Half Life 2 you had a 8-10 hour single player, then they release episode 1, and then 2, nobody complained. There are games that have far worse value than what Blizzard is proposing.

 

After sleeping on it, I realized that we all have made a LOT of assumptions on how this will go down and this was more of a Blizzard PR fuck up. What we have here is a failure to comunicate. The only thing that they have said that's annoying the hell out of me is what I voiced earlier. The story in their previous RTS games was awesome cause you also got to play on the "bad/evil" side before everything was resolved, you had to fix everything YOU screwed up, basically. From the sound of this they won't have that, since each campaign will finish just fine and everything.
