Activision Blizzard, developer of the game, announced at its second quarter earnings announcement that the release of Starcraft II has been rescheduled to early 2010. Confirming the rumor of the delay that has been circling among the gamers and the game industry, Activision Blizzard also readjusted its sales prospects slightly downward.

Activision Blizzard explained that “for improved gameplay, our account system called Battle.net has to be upgraded as well,” and “this will require more time.” The exact date of release cannot be decided for sure at this moment, but it will most likely be around the release date of Diablo 3, both in 2010.

Blizzard misses a release date?  I am shocked, SHOCKED I say.

shoooocked by this turn of events omgwtfbbq

It'll release when they think it's good enough to release. And I'm 100% fine with that, always have been always will be

[Great Rumbler]

Fuck.

Then Diablo 3 is pushed back at least 6 months too.

Blizzard isn't stupid and won't release D3 so close to SC2.

Yeah, there's no way that those two games come out anywhere close to each other.

[Himu]

Fuck SC2. Where is D3?

[archie4208]

At least 2011, if not later. :'(

[Brehvolution]

Good. I'll have my new computer by then.

[Himu]

Does anyone give a shit about SC2 aside from Koreans?

[The Fake Shemp]

Sounds like another Blizzard hack job.

People think those guys are talented.

Starcraft 2 and Diablo 2 still regularly outsell 80% of newly released games in America year in and year out.

So what you're saying is that Blizzard was a decent developer a decade ago.

[The Fake Shemp]

You proved my point for me, Borys.  Last decent id game was released in 1999!

[The Fake Shemp]

Madden makes a lot of money too, Cohen.

... Doesn't make it a good game.

Face the facts: Blizzard is run by hacks that spend more time counting money from lonely nerds than making decent games.

[The Fake Shemp]

I'd wager anyone that works at Blizzard probably wants to shoot themselves on account of how much of a sellout they are.

[The Fake Shemp]

Yeah, to be fair, I had dinner with a couple of producers and they asked me a hypothetical if I'd write a screenplay adaptation of Candyland for a bag full of cash.  My answer?

Probably.

My tagline for the movie will be: MORE THAN A GAME - ITS AN ADVENTURE!!!
