Don't know whether this is good or bad news. But, Blizzard just announced at Blizzcon that the scope and size of the SC 2 campaign is so huge that it requires a separate game for each race, though all three products will have the same ending. I hope that Blizzard is writing a truly grand story that requires so much content and won't be mostly filler missions. I also like that the games will all have the same conclusion instead of making you buy the other games just so you see the "real" ending. I hope that they make the ending so that you aren't scratching your head when the Zerg or Protoss appear with characters or do something that you won't know unless you played the other campaign games.
I'm very much on the fence with this idea and I hope this was more a move by the Activision executives and not Blizzard. I've always held Blizzard in high regard for being one of the last true development houses that hadn't fallen to the wayside in terms of greed and nickeling and dimeing their customers, but WoW may or has changed that about them, which makes me sad. Either way 150 bucks for a full game is not a good thing to talk about right now with the current economic status.
