There was a blog earlier with the same question that got a lot of answers.
I'm wondering how the numbers will change after the Frank Pearce interview.

I'm definitely not buying sc2, I was planning on not to before but this interview made my decision.

I've always intended to buy it. It's relatively simple for me - it's a game, and I'm fairly confident I'll get enough playtime from it, at the very least via UMS, to make up for the cost. That was never in question. And my beef comes with BN2, not SC2, which I can always hope they fix at some later time.

Was just discussing this with a Gamestop employee. Apparently he's more optimistic about it than I am when I said there's no way I'm pre-ordering SC2.

I'm sorry, this does nor compute in my puny brain. Do you have reasons for such a stance?

I'm buying SC2 because the game is amazing and I've not had so much fun with an RTS ever. I'm also looking forward to the campaign.

I'm buying it despite Bnet 2.

Good luck finding ums games through their custom game search.

I don't like the game, I'd much rather play Broodwar or LoL

I'm neither buying nor pirating it. I don't want Blizzard to have any of my money and it's really quite mediocre.

Eventually, people will set up UMS dl sites online. It's happened with every game. And most of my UMS playing will either come in the form of an SC2 DotA (though it'd have to be good enough to pry me away from LoL) or killing time with IRL friends. Essentially I'm relatively confident the community, in one way or other, will support the game, and there's always the possibility that Blizz will come around and fix BN2 in the future.

I can understand people saying "I will not buy SC2" @ release, and I fully understand support their decision.

I'm just choosing not to do the same thing.

I'll probably end up pirating it for the campaign, if blizzard changes their stance and reworks Bnet 2.0 sure I'll buy it.

I'm still getting it. I'm unhappy with the way Bnet is going but I really enjoy the game itself. I hope that a lot of the problem with Bnet will be fix or added eventually even if it takes until the last expansion. Potentially I could just wait but I think that by then the people who did play will be really good and that was what kept me from getting into BW.

I'll eventually buy it for the campaign, but I might not buy it right out the door. I'm more than a little bitter at them charging $60 for a PC game, so if I don't snag a SE, I'll wait until the price drops a bit. Might wait to pick it up around the time the first expansion comes out; I'm sure there will be some good deals then. That is unless I absolutely have to have it before that, but I doubt it. I've been pretty picky with my games lately, and I'm sure Civ IV, V, and whatever RPGs I play in between will last me for quite some time.

Mentions of piracy have been cracked down on pretty hard recently. I'd suggest removing the second poll, even though I'm just as interested as you in seeing the results. =/

I am blown away that some people would not buy the game simply because of the BNet limitations. For the vast majority of us who don't participate in tournaments or have the majority of our friends on a different continent, it won't affect us that much. I am very much capable of communication with my friends without chat channels as well. To me it is all about whether or not core gameplay is good, and I think it is(but that is not for this thread).

Also, I think it is disgraceful and stupid to pirate the game. Blizzard makes the very best games, period. If you want them to keep making good games, you gotta pay up, it is as simple as that. If Blizzard doesn't make much money off of SC2, do you think they are going to keep patching it? Do you think there will be an SC3?
Seriously, if you don't like it then don't buy it, but man up and don't buy it, don't be an idiot and hurt the game for the rest of us by pirating.

I've never gotten a game on release, and so will it be with SC2. I plan on picking it up though. Even at 60$ I think it's just barely worth the price. Likely I'll play the ladder casually, then switch to custom maps with friends for the remainder of the game's lifetime.

You're obviously new to Teamliquid. This is a worldwide community, we have made so many friends on iccup that are from all 4 corners of the world. And now we can't play with them (unless we buy 9 games, of course)
Also, tournaments are a huge deal, even if you don't play in them, you watch them, no?

I enjoy BW. I enjoy Sc2 less.

As of now, I'm not.

Yes I am. I have hope for the future. Things may not be cheery now, but I have hope for the future still.
