Sorry, but I'm starting to dislike Blizzard more and more: First they cancel Ghost, then they make the Protoss look like toys in Starcraft 2, and if this is true, then...fuck. I get emotional sometimes. Tease me if you wish.

Problem is that with the future of PC gaming, the bulk of the demand seems to desire the next big MMO. Many of the so called experts seem to think the future is on-line interactive gaming. As such, the money will go in that direction. Will that mean the end on non on-line games? Not by any means, but development dollars seem to be trending toward the online gaming market because people have proven they are willing to pay 15$ a month for a game they already payed 50$ to begin with. You can't ignore those dollars unfortunately, so you will likely see a continuing scramble for the next big thing in on-line games.
Not that anything Blizzard announces matters in the near future anyway. Just look at their track record. They are known for delays, long waits, and development setbacks that make us wait for years for their newest product. Remember the wait for Warcraft 3 after it was announced? How about Diablo 2? World of Warcraft took forever after they first announced it too. It makes for the best possible product in the end, but you can't deny the fact that they are slow to produce. So even though we are hearing about a Starcraft MMO, I don't expect to see an actual buyable copy to appear until 2012 at least.
