Who gives a f*** what excuse is made and who is to blame.

I'm sure the people who work on the game give a f***, you think developers want to release poor quality, unfinished stuff? I guarantee you they get more pissed off about it than you do.

Aren't they migrating WoW accounts to bnet?

Yeh they've done some work centralising accounts and authentication.

The point being though that changes to B.Net to support SCII is likely entirely divorced from WoW, as the WoW realms are only very thinly connected to battle.net.

Having played good quality client-server games in HoN I wonder if the BN upgrades which seem to be extensive include the option for this sort of play. Upgrading the network from a matchmaking service to a true game server for SC2 would be a massive undertaking.

I'm sure the people who work on the game give a f***, you think developers want to release poor quality, unfinished stuff?

The consumer doesn't give a s*** though Khel, and maybe Actizzard's (Blizzvision? Actard?) humongous pile of money might give other publishers some pause.

Valid point, but one that's lost on the majority of the other big publishers. I suspect however it's also one that's coming from the Blizzard part of the business, not Activision.

we've all seen what happens to unfinished games which have been released..

Well this news has made me give up the idea of getting a new comp and Ive ordered a Peavey guitar amp instead.

I admit it - I laughed when I read this, at the misery of all Starcraft fans >:)

They might have a good reason to release in 2010 and even if would like to play it before, its better to play a game who is really good instead of realeasing an alpha version (such as ARMA II).
But im looking forward to the release of SC II

=)

the dota of sc2 will cost extra money !! oh well it good to support the makers of maps.
