To buy myself my SC1 + BW i took in avantage the second occasion. No one can't deny the fact that the multiplayer of SC1 is the game itself. Now when it comes around the possibility of making a fee for SC2 I take in consideration another too aspects: 1st: If the original game is too expesive (SC1 costed my 10 dollars in brazilian cash, almost the double of any generic game) 2st: If this fee is fair enough to represent the playability of a game in MP mode, e.g., good connection, good servers, no kicks, nice MP features, etc. So basically i belive that if the SC2 game itself wont be too expensive to me, i'll buy it original unless it makes impossible to buy it. And if the MP feature will eventually be paid, so let it worth my cash, because i wont release my money to play any kind of MP around, and even, eventually, if this fee is somehow impossible to be paid by me, or somehow i believe isn't a fair fee i'll stick in a generic SC2 game, because I won't pay $50-$100 dollars in the same game I can pay $5, of course, this opinion over the generic game can change due the non-possibility of cracking it somehow. My opinion, complain if you won't, but beware, i might not care :D Well, basically i’m the kind of person who buys original games in two occasions:

I also doubt they will charge anything in the end, especially since they know people won't like it. Eventually, we'll get the same free Battle.net we've had for all games since Diablo...

It did surprise me a little at the sc2 announcement that blizzard would take up a rts after producing a very profitable MMO. But starcraft 2 and other non-mmo games have been secretly under development for many years. Although there have been games, such as Sam & Max, which have been canceled due to market factors despite excellent development. Would the 11% yield a greater profit than the rest? I doubt it would, but it is a serious question to consider. This poll has been open for the past two months. Will newly released information on the game, closer to the release date, alter these responses? If so, to what extent? I am beginning to think that I gain the same level of entertainment from WoW, that I do from other finely-polished games. . . Yet I still continue to pay for WoW. I think sc2blog has made their point clearly, and has it well-supported. It will be interesting to follow the market after the release of the game! Excellent report.
