I just read about it. Don't know what I should think. From what I heard each pack should have the content/length of a full game. Only the first should have the normal prize and the later ones be addon prizes.
Still I doubt it and even the guy who gave the interview stated that the prize might change to full.
I am bit torn...on the one side its nice that they want each campaign to have a larger story, more cutscenes and stuff. On the other hand, why don't they just push the release back? I mean its Blizzard, they could push it back without a problem. Most likely people will even praise them for pushing the release backwards when they only say "We do it for quality ensurance".
They would be praised as the only company that is still in search for quality. I mean I could imagne the marketing manager sitting their with the programmer
Manager "Are you done?"
Tech "Sure we could release it every day you want"
Manager "How long does it take you to do another trailer?"
Tech "2-3 days?"
Manager "Good, lets tell people that they have to wait another month because of quality ensurance while you show them one or two trailers. That will push sales skyhigh"
I think you get what I mean.
Anyway I aspect SC2 to have a quite good share of illigal downloads, maybe even toping Spore, because of this.
Well I don't know. I think I will just sit back and wait. When the release is their and I see that its worth the money I buy it. If not...well then not.
I mean if all these releases are truely what they promise, I think it will be worth buying.
To me this is a little bit like "Dawn of War".
You have the first part with the SM campaign and each addon comes with new factions and a "campagne".
I haven't regred it to have bought these addons...well a little after I saw that there was a "all in one" release. Anyway I think Blizzard could do well with this kind of release scheme IF they can keep up to what they promised.
