Starcraft 2 costs $100
If you think the billions that Blizzard makes on the back of World of Warcraft have made them less greedy, think again.
They have just announced (at Blizzcon 2008) that Starcraft 2 will not be a single game but in fact a TRILOGY. There will be three separate campaigns: the Terrain will come out first, followed by Zerg and Protoss.
Tell you what - I never cared for single player. I want a game that will allow me to choose a race and fight human opponents. It looks like I’ll have to buy three games - each will probably be around $40, so that’s over $100!

You are one cheepa$$ StarCraft fan. I will spend thousands of dollars because of Starcraft 2, because I will have to/want to buy a new PC, because I want to ENJOY the game. Oh, yeah… Another thing… Blizzard is greedy, you say! Because if you were the developer, you would give StarCraft 2 away for free, right? Get real, man! How many YEARS have the team dedicated to this game? IT’S WORTH EVERY CENT!

If you take how much time of enjoyment you get out of a game like Startcraft 2 and divide it by how much it costs it is some of the cheapest entertainment there is. People are blowing this out of proportion, All they are doing is announcing the two expansion packs early. No one would be complaining if they had just kept this under their hat. I’ll gladly pay $100 or more for a excellent game, I regularly pay around $50 for average games so I consider this getting what you pay for.

The e-sports community wants the strategy game itself not the single-player campaigns. I hope the “3 games” part isn’t true.

Let’s all be real on this one……for a gamer, a real one, 100$ is nothing…. beside if the game will have the gameplay at least of Starcraft I money will not be the problem at this level.

Hey, they could charge you to be on bnet, but they let you get on that for free. So should we really complain?

Apparently you guys haven’t read blizzards main site. You DONT HAVE TO BUY all 3 games to play Multiplayer. The 2 expansions are purely for single-player play, but they entice you by adding some cool extra multiplayer options, etc weapons, units. It seems like it is the same example as Broodwars???
And as far as I’m concerned, they have 24-30 missions per game? So $100-$150 dollars for 72-90 missions, all taking at least an hour? Thats about a dollar an hour.
Shut your mouths, and buy the stupid games.

Ok, lets put it this way. I spent $60 on The Force Unleashed and maybe got 5 hours of gameplay. Its the same way with a lot of games. So dont complain about $100 when you will get your moneys worth

If you think it’s to high, don’t buy it. It’s not like its food or air! You can live without it. Its called free market, supply and demand. If you wait a year of two it will be one the shelves for $10 bucks
