I do think it was an unofficials news site... but the hell with it!
The thing is Mr. Guimo that the team that made SC split up and left Blizzard thus SC2 is not due for another 10-20 years, when EA Games buys Blizzard  |

Larry Laffer starcraft 2 is coming soon 
Gahh EA-Games cant just buy Blizzard. Blizzard is an own company. I get broked here, i cant stand it any more.. . . . NO 
Otherwise EA-Games do many great games, but thats not the point here. Blizzard should be for them selves i think 
EA-Games could not compare with Blizzard exept three games and thay are Need for speed I, Need for speed II and Need for speed III.
Blizzard have done all the great strategy games. from warcraft til Starcraft til Dune (i think) etc.
[But as i said before ALL great games are from 1993 - 1999 though even EA-Games were GREAT and creative with there games.]
But we ain't talking about EA-Games here. We'r talk about Starcraft and i have a question about Starcraft Ghoast. What happend. Did thay cansled it or what ?

EA-Games sub divisions make tons of good games but theres no real support for any of them... once they stop making a certain amount of profit they just stop making patches and/or addressing issues...
take a look at need for speed most wanted... it has 3 patches... look at command and conquer the first decade... it takes eons to get a patch out... look at the sims 2... it just crashes with a generic error relating to kernel32.dll and the support reply we got from them was that they received our email... THEY DID NOTHING AND HAVEN'T REPLIED... been months since we sent it... |

No, they are definitely not. Older versions of Starcraft were never released and shown at E3, but were changed to todays Starcraft because of its "Orcs in space" feeling. |

Then SC is a ripoff those games and so many games (remeber anything?  )
EA sucks for making games just for profit! Blizzard sucks for wanting people to pay to play games!
But did you notice that lately Blizzard didn't make any original NEW games?
They just exploit Warcraft! And they postpone Diablo indefinetly! Next will be WOW-the burning crusade or something, the WOW2, and I don't even dare to think of what will be beyond that |

All RTS games are similar, their not really ripped off...
And EA are crap all around, programming, etc. I liked it better when they were Electronic Arts.
But hey, all video game companies make all games for profit, so thats not really a point Larry. |

Vangar -. . . . SC is a ripp of these games. If it's not what would it be then ?
You can't really say that SC is a "one of a kind".  |

| I remember looking at that, I was looking for the project that converts warcraft3 into starcraft but I stumbled upon that instead. I managed to endure reading it, its not that bad, I've seen alot worse. |

How do you expect game developers to get food and pay rent? It's a job, you know, and jobs are there so you can make money. The game developers love making games, the company itself may only be after profit but that's irrelevant.
Also, Blizzard is owned by Vivendi Universal.
Also, about Blizzard not making original games... well people run out of ideas. Companies that make a shitload of different games that aren't that great, Blizzard makes a few high quality games. I see no problem with that. Warcraft is a great franchise, Blizzard would be stupid for not capitalizing on it. (Let me also note they're making shitloads of money from World of Warcraft).
And where did you guys hear about Starcraft 2? No mention of it on the Blizzard website. |

I have seen a video of Starcaft 2. If you have played the campaign in Brood War, when they say Protoss/Zerg, they mean creepy creations. Here is the link of the video I saw. If you think it's just someone playing a Warcraft 3 game with Starcraft skins, there is no Protoss/Zerg skin. So hear is the web site:
