For 40$, people sure do entitle themselves to way too much. That's half a days work, for a AAA-game that took millions to make, and even more to promote. People ought to study the business model that AAA games follow to realize how groundless their complaint is about a game costing 40$. Oh, and that extra that you put up through buying it through Teamliquid is worth it. Consider it a helping hand towards the Nr.1 Starcraft 2-community on the net. | ||

Save that money and invest it on something else and when Blizzard makes an official announcement about the final release date, that's the time to pre-order. I preordered Duke Nukem forever.

As long as the campaign and free multiplayer is worth 40 bucks to you, buy it. Otherwise, don't | ||

Im piss poor at the moment because of studies but I'm still gonna pay that easily for thousands of hours of entertainment. Hell, I'd easily pay 100$ for the expansion to this masterpiece. It's getting abit tiring reading about people on these forum who are outraged that [Insert: league/game/event/feature] is going to cost money. Tournaments should all be free regardless of the situation and games should cost 0.99 $ on release and have every feature that people can come up with in their own spoiled head. It must be so frustrating making any kind of stuff for you people. And the price isn't even final yet! Argh! | ||

Fun Fact: Final Fantasy 3 in the states cost $90. Yes, $90. It was a whole game, but we are talking about back in the late 1990s when products were generally cheaper than nowadays. I was probably making $5 an hour then flipping burgers but I found a way to purchase it. $40 for a full Zerg campaign, new ladder units, and hundreds upon hundreds of hours of fun is a really good deal. | ||

Otherwise, don't Don't forget also paying for each expansion as a 40 dollar game. So far that's almost 200 dollars before you even start paying to play | ||

I'll be waiting for the collectors edition anyway. That's not the point. Unless they do a really good package deal, this is going to be really hard for newer players to get into. $59.99 for SC2, and $39.99 for this expansion. That's $100 you have to shell out to start playing, assuming the price stays the same. When the last expansion comes out, that number only increases. I'll definitely be buying this either way, but still. | ||

Game mechanics of a competitive RTS discourage most people from playing it in the first place. Most people can't even get into the multiplayer, those that do get frustrated by it on a daily basis, many get ladder anxiety and actively avoid playing the game. | ||

You act like every wow player is addicted to it. Maybe just maybe they think the content is worth the money. I played wow for 4years and amusingly enough it SAVED me money since that was the only thing i played for a while. Was i addicted? No, i could stop when required. Did i played it a lot? Hell yea. | ||
