While rumours are rampant regarding the StarCraft 2 Closed Beta Release Date and phishers around the globe attempts to steal personal details or online login information to Blizzard accounts through fake Beta sites and e-mails, Blizzard have actually gone so far as to decide the Closed Beta release date.
Whether you will get to know it is a completely different matter!
Even though fans have been clamoring for a StarCraft 3 for years now, it seems like Blizzard really has no reason to spend time making one.
They sort of ran the story as far as it could go.
Also, it seems like blizzard is more busy with mediocrity at this point in time.
The problem with Blizzard is they have franchises that don't need sequels. People are happy playing the games that they previously made. What they need is new games, none of this business of trying to transport the old audience into a new version of an old game which only ends up nickle and dime'ing users.
Jason Hall, currently an indie developer and former Blizzard employee, has been sharing some really interesting stories from his long career in the industry for a while now. Some of them are truly insightful, while others may seem depressing.
I’m a little shocked that StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty sold only around 6 million copies. The original StarCraft did over 11 million. Maybe Blizzard was too leisurely in releasing StarCraft 2? Starcraft 2 came out 12 years after it’s predecessor.
and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.
It's interesting he used Brazil as an example of the importance of regional pricing. Nowadays many companies on Steam are setting their prices in Brazil as high as, if not more than, their price in USA. I simply refused to buy a few games when I noticed that's the case.
Illogical Games has just announced the official release of Star Discord, the one-man indie dev's charming StarCraft lookalike on mobile.
It's really good to know that things are moving towards an ACTUAL release. The FF Alpha is traditionally a quite short period with Blizzard, so this is no news =)
Good news non the less!
NO WAY! it's about time, this is going to be a massive game for this year and I know I'm looking forward to it.
At least they have a date, it's getting closer at last!
Damn them keeping it a secret!!!
WE WANT IN!
good to know that there is an actual beta released date :) means can't be too far away :)
