No, they never even implied that. This isn't Dawn of War, this is Starcraft 2.

I can't say I'm thrilled about having to buy 3 games, but if it serves the story in the end (and I care very much about stories), then I guess I won't mind.

I don't wanna buy three games! Why are they so expensive!

Looks like I'll buy one for the multiplayer and wait a few years for the rest of the campaign to become cheaper.

Damn moose, your so smart

Sounds like someone doesn't know what Pirating is. Argh.

First of all people, while I have no proof, I'm pretty sure blizzard isn't going to charge $50 for each of the additional campaigns. Infact, I would be surprised if they costed more than $30. Second of all, there is nothing stopping you from pirating them since you are not required to have them to play on b.net.

Next Announcement:

First Part of the SC2 Trilogy will only feature Terran in either Singleplayer and Multiplayer. Also, no triggers for the map editor yet (And you'll have to wait for part 2 to place Starting Locations)

Wait Wait! How is SC2 going to end if they are 3 different games. I hope it's not like Red Alert where all the endings are different.

SC1 Terran -> SC1 Zerg -> SC1 Protoss -> BW Protoss -> BW Terran -> BW Zerg -> SC2 Terran -> SC2 Zerg -> SC2 Protoss -> gg no rm

Multiplayer will stay the same, while the campaign gameplay changes for each.
Or atleast, thats how I interpret it.

They implied that they want them to feel like full games. In other words: "we're going to charge you full price too ".

The way they worded it could also mean they aren't changing multiplayer for initial release but still might in the future expansions.

"What if we only released ONE campaign!"

Blizzard slacks off again.

Multiplayer will gain new units with expansions.

Saying that with 1 year gaps in between:
DAMN YOU BLIZZARD.

I was hoping terran would finally get the last scenario spot(the last 1 is always winnar). I want me terranz to finally come out on top.

In any business, it's all about perception. The way this comes across is as if we as fans and consumers are losing something. Look at Half-Life 2, though, with their "Episodic Content." Similar results, but different public perceptions.

Not true. If the other guy has all 3 but you only have 1, it would be like saying I want to play on Original with that Brood War guy with all the BW units!

IMO this is bullshit. Australians are so going to be f**ked over in this, Lets say cost U.S all up in total $150, is like $210 Australian dollars all I can say is I won't pay that for a game even if it a game I love.

They all have an year of intervals in between. So its not that much of a burden.
