Apparently they are buying time (and money). They probably fear that if they wait their competitors will stomp them in the ground and that they will end up like Duke Nukem Forever constantly upgrading engine and art to meet requirements only to get blown away by new standards entering a circulus vitiosus.Of course, all this bullshit does not address why blizzard can't just put three disks in one box, up the price to at most $70, and end up offering the most epic piece of win $70 could buy. So yes, they are money grubbing, but at least the consumers aren't being completely raped.
My guess they'll sell the first campaign at high price, second and third at lower prices and make a three in one campaign that costs epic amount of money.
As for selling an epic win 70$ box you'll get that when all three campaigns are out.
Yeah but blizzard has spoiled us over the years... That is the problem. I expect each race having it's campaign on the same CD/DVD.Let's adjust the perspective here, most games do not offer the option of playing through an entire game from every faction viewpoint, most offer just one viewpoint or character for the player. What if blizzard was to make a fully engrossing, and complete gameplay experience playing as just one race in single player? They would only be meeting the status quo. Also, consider that there is no reason to assume one of the campaigns to be of any less quality than if they had happened to divide all the missions on each disk between races instead of having you play as one throughout.
Also blizz will need to outdo himself twice because if it was any lesser it would generate a meh factor from the community. I mean why buy the same game twice?
I hope blizz pull this in a way that benefits everyone but I'm not an optimist...
