    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.
