In other news, it has been announced that StarCraft II will not be the only Blizzard title to share the concept of a trilogy at release. Blizzard developers have mentioned that WarCraft IV will also use this system at release, single-handedly confirming the development of a much requested title.

... did anyone ever doubt that there would be one?

I <strike>hope</strike> might I catch hell for this, but they really should consider just going back to Orcs vs. Humans. The "warcraft universe" is just bloated.

Oh, Blizzard, way to alienate your large and devoted fan base.

Blizzard seems to be taking The Sims approach to SKUs from here on out.

Why should they? Orcs are no longer the series' main antagonists and, with Thrall as their leader, they have better things to do than fight humans.

Besides, the whole "Orcs VS Humans" thing has been done to death already.

Man I hope Blizzard goes out of business when this idiotic episodic attempt goes in the shitter like almost every other attempt that wasn't Valve's. Christ, look what happened to SiN Episodes! And that was a majour release on Steam, too. And nobody bought it.

Yeah I know bankrupcy isn't likely when Blizzard are grafted to Vivendi's ass, but hey.

As far as actual episodic content goes, Valve's approach has been a disaster. Telltale Games, on the other hand, has been one of the very few who has got this right.

You're right, it has been a disaster, and yet people buy the games anyway.

Except it's not episodic content.

Also: Geee, it sure is sequel-y around here

With (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.73722#806972) one campaign released every year - or so Blizzard claims, we'll see if they stick to it - what exactly makes this not episodic content, Koki?
