awesome interview, only the analogies with world of warcraft got me a bit worried. Especially seeing how that game got dumbed down to absurd levels.

Nice, they just have to release the game the first few months of 2010 because I'm not sure people are going to be happy about further pushing the release date back to late 2010 or early 2011 or something similar.

God sc2 is going to be awesome

Dustin totally grew into the scene, where we were all afraid of his background (C&C) he does his job very good.

Very nice read! thanks!

That was a great interview, well done boys, I dugg it

Like if Blizzard gets hit by a meteor tomorrow and we all die, at least StarCraft II was awesome – that's what it needs to be.

I laughed out loud when I read that line haha

Juuust give us that game.
Man, DB is great... I've heard so many interviews with him and the result is always an extreme eager to play sc2.
Great interview; TL.net is the best thing that happened to this world since the release of starcraft.

I like how he really says that they focus on casual vs. hardcore gamer.

But I really dislike that all his examples are from WOW, a game where the skill ceiling is low and where the hardcore gamer gets rewarded directly/artificially through his high game time (getting artificial experience and lvls and items), instead of a game like SC and war3 where a hardcore gamer gets rewarded indirectly because he is actually learning stuff and getting better at the game and its mechanics

So...you're saying WoW players don't learn anything or get better by playing more, they are just rewarded with purple pixels and achievements? That seems like a very ignorant statement. Besides, his examples about WoW were mostly about how they patched in new content between expansions, and how WoW caters to both casual and harcore gamers, both of which EVERYONE, including DB, thinks SCII needs to have.
I prematurely shot my wad, on what was supposed to be a dry run, and now I seem to have a bit of a mess on my hands..

Did you see the part about his youthful beginnings? In the end, it all goes back to the hardcore nerd basement of Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson.
