Stop posting "Facts" when they are not. They stated the following. "It may be out tomorrow or 2013". It basically means when it is ready.

WHy you all rush to HotS? This game exist year and a half. Same way you will rewuest LotV. Let the game evolves, there is plenty unresearched strategies so far.

silly to assume anything based on what they say since... they never give release dates. that said 2013 is probably close to the truth unless they do the beta sometime in the next few months

Whatever it means I hope they take as much time as they need to make HotS a better game than this is.

Id be happy if it came out 2013. Gives them enough time to think about better units than those crappy ones they presented (not all of them were crappy, but there were quite a few that were designwise not thought through for 100%)

I'm somewhat fine with HotS 2013 - D3 will be enough to play till HotS (and there's also DotA2, a yet finally improved Mappool, ...)

It does seem to be a long time to spend on an expansion that isn't changing things around too much. Imagine if there were no campaign and the dev team spent all this time just working on multiplayer and the bnet interface...

The title of this thread made me scared, don't write it as a fact!

Although, you might be right.

SC2 BETA was from March - July. If they plan on releasing it next year, expect a beta in like June at the earliest.

I do hope they release this year tho

Misleading title. Should at least have put a question mark on the end.

The only disconcerting thing is that they won't commit to what game is being released in 2012, if any of them. For all we know it could be the great Blizzard DOTA coming out in 2012 alongside Diablo 3. The other alternative is that it's like some sort of internal race, whichever team finishes their expansion first gets it out the door in 2012, but what if neither do (which is more than likely considering how slow Blizzard is)

Neither seem particularly far along if they can't say what game is coming out this year along with D3

Well, they sorta have. I don't think they would count Blizzard DOTA as a game so that leaves HOTS and MOP. WoW is already dying at a noticeable rate due to lack of content. Even if MOP is unfinished they still HAVE to release it within the next six months. There's just no way around it... people will not be content raiding Deathwing for another year, and Blizzard has stated 100% there will be no more content in Cataclysm.

That alone guarantees MOP will be out this year. As far as priority goes HOTS is last on the list. Diablo 3 will sell millions of copiest and MOP will sell millions of copies plus slow or halt the dying of WoW. HOTS will have the worst sales of the three by far and there's no way investors would allow Blizzard to push that out before the other two titles.

While it COULD be released this year I have never known Blizzard to release a game early, so when they say they don't anticipate it this year I can't bring myself to believe it will exceed their expectations as far as a release goes.
