That's a good point. If Blizz did it, it was to make an awesome game. If Kotick did it, it was to make more money.

Why does Bobby Kotick think he rules the world now that his company owns Blizzard? He was quiet back when he just had Spiderman, Tony Hawk, CoD and Guitar Hero, but now he has WoW, he suddenly rules the world?

I think most companies that had Blizzard-quality games would become mad with power :)

I really hope that Blizzard jumps ship, or that the investors kicks kotick out and replaces him with a Blizzard employee.

It doesn't have to be a Blizzard employee. ANYONE is better than Kotick (except maybe Jack Thompson).

Kotick was evil before he even joined Activision.

"Prior to Activision, Robert Kotick served as CEO to 4Kids Entertainment,"

(Anyone who watches Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series will get it)

I'm all for Jack Thompson taking over, actually. I'd love to see what he'd do... especially if it means putting Infinity Ward to work making Bible Adventures 2 (at long last!).

4kids?

he got a job after 4 kids?

I guess gaming is domed after all.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I don't know. In David and Goliath, David was using a slingshot to shoot rocks at people, and I don't think we should be encouraging children to do such awful things. It's an assault on our children!

Why would they hire somebody from the most evil organisation in the world?!

They couldn't have gotten someone from the BNP or Al Qaeda?

Violence is okay if God tells you to do it!

But America is God, so does that mean Call of Duty is okay?

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.
