Starcraft 2 to be three games, internet to explode

<< < (6/46) > >>

Alex C:
If it's a good enough product, I really don't give a crap. My brother loved playing through the original Starcraft campaign. He did this last week, by the way, for what seems like the billionth time over the last decade.

Surgoshan:
Would you say it's a blatant cash grab for an author to charge full list price for each of the books in a trilogy?

It's only a blatant cash grab if Blizzard releases two subsidiary, less fully formed campaigns.

KvP:
I wouldn't have called it a cash grab had Starcraft 1 been three separate games as well. I don't buy Blizzard's reasonings. I don't buy that this format is the best way for them to make their games. No matter how they release them the full product is going to hit the market at roughly the same time (theoretically, if they worked on all the campaigns at the same time as they have done in the past, then Q&A and other concerns will require significantly less time, and that's not even getting into the teams "winding up" and "winding down" before and after every release)  Given that I doubt the separation of the campaigns will change much with regard to the actual content of the games themselves, all we're really left with as far as motivation is the tripling of already guaranteed-staggering revenues. After all, nobody's arguing that what Activision/Blizzard's doing with Guitar Hero isn't a blatant milking of the property.

I'm not saying people shouldn't spend $150 on a game, I'm saying that they should take off the fuckin' rose colored glasses. This is a decision made for shareholders, not consumers.

Alex C:
...So?

Chesire Cat:
Im definitely argueing that what Activision/Blizzard are NOT blatantly milking the property.

And with a track record of quality/content vs price Blizzard has always served up, I am reserving judgment and am quite optimistic that Blizzard can perform.
