According to Jez Corden, a journalist at Windows Central, Starcraft 3 is now in development. It’s not clear how reliable he is.

    I wish I could care but I haven’t had any respect for Blizzard in years. They’ve become a manifestation of avarice and anti-consumer practices. They clearly hate their fans and love only their customers’ wallets. I still remember when it was confirmed SCII would not have LAN and would essentially require a bnet connection for any gameplay. There are threads still up on the SCII forums where customer support was talking people through disabling their goddamned network adapter just to get into their “offline mode.” The absurdity. Complete with reminders you must still log in every 30 days to continue playing offline, of course.

    One of the funniest things I’ve seen to date was when battlenet went down during what I’m pretty sure was supposed to be a huge pre-release tournament. They were featuring some well-known pros, trying to drum up more hype for the game, and then bnet just shat the bed. What a fustercluck! Even after the launch battlenet instability continued to impact some major SCII tournaments.

    “SC3 in the works?” Whatever, I’m not buying.

    Jez Corden correctly leaked the Death Knight class in hearthstone prior to announcement. He seems to have sources at blizzard.

    I’m sure a bunch of people will waste money and buy it because ‘it’s blizzard’ (despite it’s in name only), then quickly abandon it.

    This is where I’m torn between my childhood memories and present. We develop emotional attachment beneficial to the company, and videogames are a perfect way of achieving that.
