StarCraft
II Interview on VideoGamer.com recaps a conversation with Blizzard cofounder
Frank Pearce about the RTS sequel that took place at the Games Convention in
Leipzig. They extract three of the most salient bits, one being the
chance of console
StarCraft II 'very close to zero', another
that they still
can't predict a release date (stop the presses!), and the perhaps
counterintuitive thought that
Blizzard's success
with World of Warcraft makes a StarCraft MMO "difficult", though it doesn't
seem that they are ruling anything out: The StarCraft universe is really
rich, and it's got a lot of cool stuff in it that could be leveraged for any
number of different genres. A big factor would be what the development teams
want to work on. When the StarCraft II team is done with StarCraft II, a factor
is what they want to work on next, because the development teams plays a big
role in deciding what they're going to do. So if there was a development team
that was really passionate about leveraging the StarCraft universe for a
different genre then that's something we would seriously consider.

The only reason I can think of for them to -not- make a Starcraft MMO is that they can't find anywhere big enough to store all the money they'd make.

Shouldn't it be 'StarCraft MMO Would be "Difficult" instead of StarCraft II MMO, seeing as there isn't StarCraft MMO 1, and they don't talk about a RTS MMO version of StarCraft 2?

Yeah there is a 40k mmo but it's being done by some of those from the Tabula Rasa team. And much to my dismay they are not going to follow the Planetside model.
