The game ITSELF is finished.. beta state.. and has been for quite some time now.. it is only BNET 2.0 that is givign trouuuuble. So you think taking seven years to develop a game that's not a new IP is reasonable? The life cycle of most operating systems is even less than that... oh and "it's only BNET 2.0 that is giving trouble" misses the point....it has still taken 6 years for them to get to the point where they are working on B.NET 2.0......here's a genius idea: Come up with a new revolutionizing way of paying the game that will be INTEGRAL to it's success, call it battle.net 2.0 and then wait until the rest of the game is done before even starting work on it...GENIUS! | ||

I honestly don't consider six years to be a valid number for SC2's dev cycle. As stated by Blizzard, they had to halt SC2 development because WoW turned out to be so big. The actual game itself is more or less being made at the same cycle as any other Blizzard game. | ||

There are no full 5 months left in 2009. With the beta start not having been announced to date no one should have expected SC2 to be released this year, I know I have been pretty sure about it coming out in 2010 instead of 2009 for quite a few weeks.

http://www.blizzard.com/us/jobopp/designer-lead-bnet.html Blizzard still needs to hire a lead designer for Bnet. Let me say WTF to that. | ||

It's more likely this was an Activision decision and not a Blizzard decision so that SC2 doesn't coincide with COD MW2 | ||

They've been working on it almost 7 years now and have SO much money/resources/employees Yes, I do truly believe that Bnet 2.0 is holding them back. Blizzard handles their own decisions, and they are not dictated by Activision. This is just typical Blizzard behavior. | ||
