I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but personally I''ll keep my pessimistic attitude, and expect another disappointment kthx. This is the correct attitude. It enables one to be pleasantly surprised if something does finally happen and to remain calm if nothing does. Haha "the correct attitude" I like that phrase. But where is the passion?!?
Passion is back in 2007, and halfway through 2008. Along with hype, excitement and hope.

I want some epic hype thing on blizzards main page, kinda like they had for the announcement of sc2.
beta on april 1st lol?

Do you guys really think it's *impossible* for Blizzard to cancel SC2? I think not - they have done it twice in the recent past. And when I think about it, it gives me the creeps.
Of course - canceling the Warcraft adventure game and SC: Ghost is one thing, and cancelling *THE* Starcraft II is something else. I can only hope that when the game comes out, it's absolutely groundbreaking to the point it'll keep SC alive for another 10 years.
Argh, posting this almost makes me cry. I simply can't wait any longer!

SC2 has the similar delay nostalgia we get from SC:Ghost and WC Adventures (if you remember way back then), but there's still a key difference: Those games that got cancelled obviously sucked.
I watched the SC:Ghost coverage for two years and never once thought the game looked even mildly entertaining =/
On the other hand, the reviews I read last year make it look like the SC2 blizzcon build could have been release-worthy with a crappy online service by other publisher standards (Not as picky about imbalance). I can't think of a good reason for why SC2 could get canceled besides some catastrophe/act of God. What reason do you think could cancel it?
I wouldn't say it's impossible, but right now it's about as likely as the WoW expansion getting canceled

Eah all blizzard games have gone through massive amounts of delays. They promised beta in 09 and it was pushed back. i think thats the first actual push back of the game.
I do find it funny as hell walking into gamestop/bestbuy ect and asking how they get their inside information on how sc is going to be out in 3 weeks when there has yet to be beta lols.

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.
Are you going? Can you ask them why MW2 sold more copies then like...anything ever and their stock didn't budge?

The beta alert level is no laughing matter citizen. Especially since we are dangerously close to red. I would advise everyone to follow the chatter on SCL. There is allot of reasons to doubt that this might be it...but theres also lot a reasons to not.

All I hope is that they push it until mid july, so I can by a new computer

Supposedly their stock doesn't move because top execs keep selling their shares, which can be regarded as a negative signal to trump pretty much all positive ones. Also, a lot of people who buy/sell stocks don't understand the video game industry very well, so they project problems of the rest of the industry onto Blizzard--hence the stock dropping so much since the 23% (?) decline in PC sales was announced.

They only cancel games if they have a reason for it. SC2 have had no problems so far.

I have vowed never to get my hopes up about this, no matter how imminent it may seem. It's like that cute girl in your chemistry class. You think she likes you, she flirts, you flirt and then WHAM she brings out her fat ugly boyfriend. It's not worth the pain man...
