Fall 2010 is when they are saying now, as far as a release date.

I hope Boeing and Airbus take no offence at that, Zach. Sure, programming takes time. Game design takes time. Good game design probably even more.

Still… I rather wonder if they intend to wait long enough so that they can sell SC + Diablo in new clothes again to a new generation of gamers.

I am already feeling old, and wonder if I could still enjoy an RTS (have not played any for years) or mass killing frenzies like Diablo which I probably have not played for over 10 years already. I cannot even remember my last time playing any of the predecessors.

So far SC2 news hints at micro-transaction sale of maps and 3 “chapters” of the game, one for each race.

I wonder if I will not remember getting a game with 3 races and all maps for free some 10-15 years ago?

“I mean, it can’t take *that* long to make the game can it?”

Yes, it can take that long. Building games is roughly as hard as designing and building airplanes. And it gets harder when you want to make a game that you want to last for a decade. Most company’s games last 18 months and then everyone’s moved on from them. Starcraft and Diablo II are still being played almost 10 years later.

SC2 was meant to be out this year and got pushed back which is a huge shame. D3 not coming out until 2011 is a travesty. I mean, it can’t take *that* long to make the game can it?
