Starcraft 2 Trilogy?

It has just been brought to my attention the Starcraft 2 is apparently going to be a trilogy, with each campaign being sold as its own game. According to Activision/Blizzard, this is to “allow the development team the opportunity to focus its energy on providing players with a deep, rich story and fully fleshed-out Starcraft universe characters for all three factions.” Personally I think that’s a load of crap, and this decision was made to bring in more money.

In their defense however, this decision does not mean that Starcraft 2 will be bad, or that the 3 games will not be worth it. By doing this, Blizzard has raised the bar. Now each campaign alone has to be good enough to justify the price tag. Well see if they can pull this off.

I also have to mention, in regards to my “death of PC gaming post” PC developers have to look for new ways to deliver their products in order to compete with consoles . It could be very possible to see more things like this in the near future.
