I don't think Kotick did this. Blizzard aren't about to let some corporate bigwig boss them around.

I really hope that's the case, because I'm getting pretty worried about the desicions that they are taking with SC2, and if this was true, it would make me about ten times more worried.

Actually, I want to think Kotick did this, because the alternative is that Blizzard did it themselves.

We don't know Battlenet 2.0 will be paid, anyway.

As things are now, the game is being split, and there is nothing to do about it.

My reasoning is that if Blizzard decided to split it, then maybe they actually have a grand vision that needs three games. And if they cut out LAN, they actually think they can compensate with Bnet2.0. And I really hope it won't be paid.

But if Kotick is behind it, I really fear about the quality of the game when it comes out. That's why I don't want Kotick to be behind it.

The reason you're worried is because you don't understand a single thing about why Blizzard did it.

First, the game IS NOT being split into 3 because originally the single-player campaign was supposed to be MUCH SMALLER than they intended. That is why they decided to work on the stories and give way better campaigns.They already said that each campaign is about as big as the the campaign of Starcraft 1.

Seriously, why would you want 3 stories butchered into 3 different titles?! Not only would that force you to wait for ALL 3 titles just to see the end of a campaign, but also because it also harm the stories because of that 3-way split.
