> Between the RealID fiasco, no lan support and the pay per race business > scheme I agree with the first two, but the third is debatable. SC2 - WoL offers *more* content than the original Starcraft - 26 missions vs. 30, but more involved, varied and better crafted. And the story is much better too. MP allows all three races so there you go: equal or more content than the average C&C4. The most one can lament about is that if he liked more the Protoss as a race he will have to wait for the (full) game centered on their story. Bioware declares that Mass Effect will be a trilogy of three full-length games and everybody agrees - even if both the first and the second one offer, technically, uncomplete experience, since they end with cliffhangers. Blizzard declares that SC2 will be a trilogy of three full-length games with complete story archs and MP, and the whining about "pay per race" reaches vuvuzela-levels. Perception should bent to reality, not the other way around.
