Starcraft to be three games. Not what you think.
Apparently all three races will be available day one for multi. For single player the first to ship will be the Terran campaign/game. Then the other two to follow afterwards. They say it's to make each one it's own game. I say it's because they got money hungry since WoW. I mean really, if they charge $50 for 1/3 of a game, that's pretty petty. Next they'll start charging for Battle.net.
Shame on you Blizzard. Yes your fans are as rabid as Mac fans but you don't need to dollar rape them.

And here you thought there'd be no big StarCraft 2 announcement after its conspicuous absence from the BlizzCon 2008 opening ceremony. Rob Pardo, executive vice-president of game design at Blizzard announced that the campaign version of the game will be a trilogy, each part focusing on a separate race.
Terrans - Wings of Liberty
Zerg - Heart of the Swarm
Protoss - Legacy of the Void
Sure, it's not a release date, but for those still hopeful, there's always tomorrow night's closing ceremonies. We'll get more info on this as we have it, like will it all be in one box? Will we have to buy separate discs? Can we have it now, please?
Update: Yes, you'll have to buy separate discs. According to Pardo, "It's a separate product. Look at the next two as expansion packs, but will have the feel of stand alone products." Meaning yes, we'll be charging you more money.

I think Stephen King started this scam when he released.. I think it was Green Mile, as 6 separate little books instead of one full sized book.

I will give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt. They have always taken care of me as a gamer. Their games are excellent and always give value for your money.

Money nothing, I just think the series is nothing but the original SC with prettier graphics.

Great White Shark
I couldn't care less about SC2.
not really a fan of the original anyway.
but this news is pretty messed up.. Scamcraft fans better pull down their pants, bend over and have their lub ready because it's going to be a big one a comming.. errr. in this case three little ones.
I hope they don't decide to release separate "games" for NOD/GDI Allied/Soviet when the next C&C or Red Alert comes out.
