I know what you're talking about Genesis, where he talks about paying for character transfers stuff like that.
liquid, they're PC games so they'll be $50, they're won't be a monthly fee for either of the games or bnet 2. And to be honest, I'm not going look up all the links and quotes for the sake of your own ignorance and lack taking the initiative to find them yourself.
Yeah, I guess Blizzard are doing it in a way, depending on how you look at it. I suppose I've just become more accepting (bending over) of game developers tactics.

I don't know, you're talking 90 dollars there. It may not seem like a lot to you, but that's pretty steep for what should be the entire game. And that's not even counting if they make an expansion for it eventually. I think it sets an unusual precedent for Blizzard.
Well, if you look at it, shouldn't expansions just be included in the game in the first place? I mean you paid for Diablo 2 ($50) and LoD ($20). Are you saying that the LoD couldn't have been included in Diablo 2, is that somehow excluded from this philosophy? When it comes down to it, every expansion could be included in the original game, but they don't. I mean, they need to make money, and even though they say it's for the gamer, business comes first.
The first one would be 49.99, like most PC games and then the other two would be 19.99, just to clear that up. I actually don't see this as being that big of a deal, as all the multiplayer components and races will be in each release and the Terran campaign is bigger than the entire campaign for Starcraft. So it's not like you're not getting your money's worth. Plus it seems like Starcraft 2 wouldn't be released until hopefully 2010 if it was all released at the same time.

You were acting as if screwing people out of money was something new.
