Try reading more than the 59.99 number at the bottom.

I know for a fact that this won't help anything buuut... READ AT LEAST THE FIRST 10 FUCKING COMMENTS BEFORE YOU BITCH.
There is a high chance whatever you are thinking has already been said.
Just like the post I am making now... hypocriscy at its finest. But seriously the price will most likely go down. I am betting $40 for final price.

Q: How much will Heart of the Swarm cost?
A: We typically don't provide details about pricing until the game is closer to release. We do view Heart of the Swarm as an expansion set, so for the regions that have a standard box business model such as North America and Europe, we will price accordingly. For other regions that have alternative business models, we’ll provide details at a later date.

[small]Pre-orders can be cancelled prior to shipping. Box art is concept only. Pre-order is for US only, collector's edition and other countries will be added as they become available.
[/small]

How much clearer do you want it? In big 90 font letters in Teamliquid horse letters with fireworks around the words "This is Amazon's typical Pre-Order practice. They always put the prices at a retarded maximum so that when the price does come out people never think 'Oh shit, I thought it was only going to be 20 bucks and now it's 60.'?"


Jesus Christ, this is like a Live Reply thread. OP whine, Blizzard whine, everything. Hell, I think I might have found some balance whine somewhere in here.

And I'll definitely be pre-ordering once I get some money, lolol. USA college students are always as broke as we can be without straight up starving. :S

Not only that. But it sucks to see something that I think that a lot of us want, which is a way to directly support Team Liquid, only to have such a huge percentage of the replies just be so sour and bitter.

I can see people who thought that this would be the final price would question the price point, but even then putting their complaints into this thread is just off.

You and Liquid`Nazgul can rant about this all you want, point remains that people will misunderstand the post regarding release date and sell price. you could fix it by making it more clear or just ignore it and call people idiots. Your choice.

I think people fail to see that even though HOTS is an expansion, it delivers enough, if not more, playtime SP and MP of a regular game. Most blizzard "expansions" come with enough content that it can be considered a regular game. IE SC1 and BW, both with roughly ~30 levels. D2 and LoD expo was the same story iirc.

People need to read the thread before making the comment about it being 60...I'm almost 100% sure it's not going to end up being 60.

Even if it is $60 its for a game that thousands upon thousands of hours of play with no monthly cost.

$60 is well worth it.

Stop whining.

I'd pay it if it was much higher. I'll get my money's worth. It's not a final price though. Thanks guys. I'm so freaking excited for this now.

Clarity is not the problem. Anyone actually reading it will understand, but you do actually have to bother with it. Thanks for the friendly comment.
