"we are in touch with the Starcraft fan base but have nothing to announce at this time."
Then announce it. LOL, they were full of shit.
Yes, this is totally a Blizzard thing to say.. actually it reminds me of:
“We definitely appreciate that the community has a lot of interest in seeing the Diablo series continue, and we certainly share that desire,”
...
“For now, though, our focus remains on StarCraft II and Wrath of the Lich King. I’m afraid I don’t have any new plans to announce at this time.”

HMM?!
Also, I do wonder if there are plans for an announcement then why haven't we been told so? I do believe they gave notice of an annnouncement before SC2 was actually announced.
Just look at Blizzard bought Diablo3.com... I still think that's the BIGGEST/Most OBVIOUS Clue, that D3 IS Coming!
WHY Did they bought Diablo3.com... IF not for the game ready to be annouced SOON? HUH?
Cuz, I seriously doubt Blizzard would all the sudden be interested in the domain, for No reason.
NO Freaking need at all to go by what some magazine says.
They will Keep denying it, but what's interesting is everything they say ALSO points to Diablo 3!!!
Words like "Hell", "Ring Of Fire".... they can Deny all they want, but yeah I gurantee Diablo 3 will be annnouced this year(Clues are Abundantly CLEAR)!!!
Just curious.. did Blizzard own starcraft2.com before its release? If not, when was it acquired?
My bet is that they thought like "lots of people seem to belive that it is d2, but oh what a surprise they will get when we announce Sid Meiers Civ MXVII (which we (we=pc action staff) know is way more anticipated than d3), everyone is going to so satisfied when we top their expectations".("first they'll think "YEAH! D3!", but then when we show them the new Sid Meiers-game they'll be like "ZOMG!11 THIS WAY MORE THAN I DARED TO HOPE!") But after digging deeper into diablofans.com they saw how many people actually wanted d3. When they saw how many people actually wanted d3. Now, when they have realized their mistake, they're busy making preperations for the incoming fury from the diablo-fans.
well getting slightly back on topic pc action has been rather quiet the past few days in terms of teasing all us diablo fans no more 11x11 pixel shots to ponder so im thinking the've had there fun now so i doubt anything else will be mentioned until there magazine is released in a few weeks
Surley if the D3 announcement was imminent then Blizzard would want to announce any D3 info themselves. And I'm sure they would be quick to hush those who have been releasing that info.
"NEXT MONTH
Have you ever had a secret that you're just dying to blurt out, but you can't for another month, and the stress of holding it in makes you want to do the pee-pee dance? That's what the PC Gamer staff is doing right now, because the August issue will be chock-full of exclusives, including a top-secret cover story so huge we had to go to [CENSORED] to get it. Just 30 days more ..."
Well the new image really looks like fire from Diablo... And the name of it is pic_d3_2.jpg
Unless they're teasing with us
I very much doubt that the name of the picture is a hint. As a web developer, I just think its named according to the content in which it is placed. In this case the image is placed in an article relating to Diablo 3 speculation and is the second hint image given.. thus pic_d3_2.jpg.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Hell hath no fury like a Diablo fan scorned...
Or maybe Blizzard caught on?
Thank you, thats better. Just to try my luck, how much less than a month? A day or so?
Soon is never good enough!! Not anymore, seems thats all you here "soon, soon, soon!" SCREW SOON, I WANT NOW!

Refers to DOOM 4...

just my 2 cents..
