The big news today out of BlizzCon is that StarCraft II is being divided into
Terrans: Wings of Liberty, Zerg: Heart of the Swarm, and Protoss:
Legacy of the Void, three separate standalone campaigns that will be sold
separately, each highlighting one of the game's races, with the decision to
subdivide the real-time strategy sequel said to be the alternative to either
delaying or scaling back the release.
Shacknews quotes
Blizzard's Rob Pardo saying the second and third games "will be like expansion
packs, but we really want them to feel like standalone products." Word is the
Zerg campaign will emphasize RPG elements, the Protoss campaign will focus on
diplomacy, and the Terran campaign will also feature a Protoss mini-campaign.
Shacknews also offers
a couple of cut-scenes, one fully rendered, and the other using the game engine.

Isn't Blizzard actually following other games like Half Life 2 and Sam & Max? They're episodic.
This isn't about episodes though, it's about Blizzard splitting one product into 3 purchases.
From my Starcraft days, I remember most of my friends preferring the Terrans. I just don't see this as all that smart a business move. I buy the Terran pack, play MP with all 3 races...why bother playing with races I don't care for? I wonder if they'll build some "you need all 3 packs to buy the next whatever" catch.
