http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft/news/11214-blizzard-broadcasts-their-conference-call + Show Spoiler +http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/activision-blizzard-to-release-fourth-quarter-and-calendar-year-2009-results-on-february-10-2010-82150597.html Five months ago, Blizzard had a conference call, and the bad news hit us. No beta in 2009. It's time for another conference call, will we be getting good news this time?
On Wednesday the 10th of February Blizzard releases their 2009 results calendar and will also hold a conference call that will be broadcast over the Internet. Last year on August the fifth we got the bad news that the beta would not see the day of light because of the development of the new Battle.net platform, and it had been pushed to the first half of 2010. In hopes for new announcements, the expectations are of course sky-high, this could be the day that Blizzard announces the beta date, and maybe a release date for Starcraft 2. It's still speculations if they will announce anything, but this is in fact broadcast over the Internet.
good news coming? edit: hopefully

ive lost all faith in blizzard, more bad news inc.

I won't be surprised if we get bad news lets put it that way. But good news would be great

February 10, a Wednesday...
"Hey guys, just letting you all know that the beta is starting... This Friday!"
One can dream.

10 February 2010 approx.1300 zulu - Dustin Browder: "I'm probably going to do terrible, terrible damage to the mic by saying this...but IT'S BETA TIME!"
Oh if only wishes could actually come true.

Let's just leave this for what it is - standard financial report/conference call that is going to be broadcast....Does it really seem reasonable that they would announce beta during that call? No. It's going to be like CEO/CFO/COO, Bobby "dolla dolla bills" Kotick and a couple bankers sitting in, talking finances for investors.

There is more. Spychi from SCL says that he has a source that says beta will start before the end of Febuary. Spychi runs a European fansite.

After all of this do you really think they are going to go "oh btw beta starts Feb 15, which is pretty cool right investors?"

Sure, but lets be smart please -___-. I mean it makes more sense that the announce it before the call or immediately after.

As true as it is considering the scope of Starcrafts fan base I could see them letting investors know that they plan on keeping media attention on the company due to the pending beta start date. Media attention is a good thing, investors like it when its good, so it would be feasible to think it may be mentioned

I don't think we can expect much from this unless something has been delayed.
If the beta is already out by then they'll say "With the recent release of the SC2 beta we are on track for a second quarter release" and move on.
If the beta isn't out they'll say "Starcraft 2 is still on track for a second quarter release with the beta coming soon."
These conferences usually aren't for us

"StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty will be postponed indefinitely."

BETA ALERT We would like to alert everyone that the Beta security advisory system has been elevated to Code Orange. Repeat, the Beta security advisory system has been elevated to Code Orange.
This is not a drill people. Once again, if you have any, and I mean any information about a possible Beta date we urge you to come forward to the proper authorities. We will continue to monitor the situation as it develops.

Cry me a river. So the game they never gave you a date for wasn't out when you wanted it, we're all sorry for your loss. SCII is coming, it will be awesome, don't be such a downer.
