Like EA gamers, most will probably be tempted to played pirated versions, or maybe buy one “product” and pirate the other two.

But but but Andrew — each segment will have its own fully satisfying (yet incomplete) ending. You don’t have to buy all three, but aren’t three endings more profi….errr better than one?

This is horrible! It sounds like you will have to pay over $150 to get the “full” Starcraft 2 experience. What a rip-off!

This seems to me like a scheme to get Blizzard fans to part with more money… how sad that greed has taken over a formerly respectable company. This is inexcusable.

Can anyone name ONE other game where you had to buy more than one copy to get the whole story?

“According to Blizzard, the game was becoming so large that they felt it would be best to split it into three separate products — each with their own respective ending.”

I take that as they were originally making one game with three campaigns and decided to split each campaign into a new game. Each game will have its own ending, and therefore, depending on how you look at it, you can play one and walk away.

However, if you want to play all three, you will need to pay for all three.

so. Wait. What? I have to buy three copies of the game to play through the three campaigns? Or are they all going to be separate, instead of tied together as they were in the original?
