-This weekend was blizzcon, a convention to show off blizzard games
-Starcraft II will now be released as 3 seperate games, you have to buy a separate game for the protoss, the zerg, and the terran
-Diablo 3 will now have microtransactions (aka you have to pay money for certain features in the game)
-4 Players per game in Diablo 3
-No Mods (GG Modding Community)
-possible inclusion of DRM
-possible ending of free battle.net
This means you will have to pay 3 x $30 (or $40, or $50) to have the complete Starcraft II experience, and to get the most out of Diablo 3, you will have to pay $50 + whatever else you want.
All Blizzard supporters who say "THEY NEED TO CHARGE, THEY CAN'T RELEASE IT FOR FREE!!", look at Valve/TF2
It's no wonder PC gaming is in the shape it is today with stunts like that on SC2. I'm sure they'll be driving many to pirate with that.

Also, some other cruel things Blizzard is doing.
Blizzard refuses to refund

Wow, blizzard has failed. I think I'm out.
None.
First link goes to GameSpot's main page, second I've never heard of, third is 404, and last I've never heard of.
This all sounds rather incredible.

Yeah this isn't like pokemon, the expansion are going to be out years after the initial release.

But pokemon doesn't involve installing somethings from a CD. Pokemon is a physical cart that cannot be duplicated (by simple means >.>)

Someone should start a petition against this shit. Get it moving around the internet and it should have hundreds of signatures in days.
None.
If all the three SC2 packs come with different CDKeys, and cost 20 ~ 25 dollars, I'm fine with that. Altogether, that would be the price of a console game, instead though you've got 3 authentic stories. But if they go 40$ a pop, fuck that shit, I'll stick with SC.
As for D3, it sounds like they wanna add a fucking cash shop, and that would be fucking bullshit.

WoW never breached 40$ if I remember correctly. Thats like 4 CDs.

My theory: They need such draconic mountains of swag on account of the fact that they're developing all three of their flagship franchises (SC, Diablo, WC)
at the same time.
None.
But if they go 40$ a pop, fuck that shit, I'll stick with SC.

Its a ROM Stuck on a tiny physical cartrdige and then inserted into a reader...
None.
I bought SC when It first came out for $20. I can't see them charging too much for a game in three parts.
"Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman - do we have to call the Gentleman a gentleman if he's not one?"
Where did you get it? The rest of us payed full price for it.
None.
I'd expect around $50 for any kind of those CDs. And Iam going to get all of them. I feel the need to have all 3. It's a trilogy for god sakes. Seriously, just stick to SC if you dont want it. Rofl, who told you SC2 wanted someone who didnt want to pay?
None.
