That's pretty cool, bro. I wonder if they'll make any significant changes from the latest beta build. The game's already surprisingly well-balanced, but I'd love to see Lurkers come back.

Personally, I have no problem with Blizzard making 3 SC2 games PROVIDED that the two others will be expansion packs, will offer at least the same amount of new content as Brood War did to the original Starcraft and will be priced as expansion packs.
But it won't actually be this way, right?

This is the only unknown so far. We have a number of missions: 30 each. What does that mean? The fanboys have already decided each mission will be as long, involved and interesting as in the original game. The haters have already decided they will each be 5 minutes long. Personally I am slightly inclined towards the haters, but I suspect that the missions will in fact be longer but just very bland. I really don't see how they can keep both the missions and story interesting for 30 missions in a row. Of course the fact they're starting with the Terrans, the least interesting of the 3 sides, doesn't make things any better.
Verdit: will not physically remove from an inventory. If that.
Koreans play multiplayer only so they're the last people who would buy 2nd and 3rd game.Fomorian said:

Well you will *need* to buy them because the competitive scene will always use the latest version, no matter how skilled or unskilled you are.
I will buy them all three, frankly i do not care about the price issue, it has been discussed ten times before, there is no need to discuss it again.

I wouldn't mind if they sold a cheaper MP only version of the game. Couldn't give a shit about their single player campaign and I'm not interested in paying over $200 for a computer game, in installments or not.
I have not purchased the DoW 2 expansion for the same reason - it simply isn't worth it to get one extra faction in multiplayer.

Once the third one comes out, you'll only need to buy that one for the CD-key and pirate the previous two. The only reason you would need all of them for multiplayer is if they plan on adding more races and if they make it like in the DoW expansions, where you can only play the new races if you don't have the original.
Of course, what they didn't mention is when the 2nd and 3rd games will be released. My guess is one year each, but they could pull a HL2:EP3 on us and stall each expansion for years. WoW was released in 2004, but the first expansion only came in 2007.

It's not so bad, just look at Blizz' other games:
Warcraft 2 had came out in 1995 and had 28 missions. Beyond the Dark Portal came out a whopping four months later and had 24 missions of slightly better quality. These missions weren't that varied though, but good for 1995/96.
Starcraft came out in 1998 and had 30 missions. Brood War came out nine months later and had just as many missions. Both sets were very good quality at the time and much more varied than "build base and win".
Warcraft 3 came out in 2002 and had 32 missions. The Frozen Throne came out almost exactly a year later and had 26 missions. These missions were even better quality than Starcraft's.
If the pattern keeps up, you should get the first expansion after around 14 or 15 months with 30 missions of good quality.

No. Their claim was more that they didn't want to just make 10 missions per race, but wouldn't be able to put in 90 missions in one game. If I think what they do will have earning more money in mind, then I'd say yes. I will most likely still buy all three since I have faith in their ability to deliver on this.
that their beta that has been long on by now is more stable and balanced than pretty much every full product released helps.
Have you seen some previews of the missions, Destuctoid? I mean, we can't know, but it looks like they're gonna be much more deep than even the Warcraft III missions, which were pretty awesome for a fucking RTS.
