StarCraft II is Year's Biggest PC Game Launch [Aug 03, 2010, 11:06 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty sold more than a million copies in 24 hours and 1.5 million copies over the first 48 hours of availability, announces Blizzard. They say this makes the real-time strategy sequel the biggest PC game launch of the year, and that this sets a record "for fastest-selling strategy game of all time."

So frickin' what?! Regardless of the situation. Regardless of the circumstances. Regardless of any excuses apologists want to proclaim over and over again, the sequel took 12 years to arrive. Any way you slice it that's abysmal fan service.
God, someone says anything remotely negative about your precious Blizzard and you immediately swoop in like a trained hound to bitch at them about. JESUS H CHRIST, are you a paid attack dog for Blizzard or something?!?
JESUS H CHRIST would you calm down? Did you take it personally and pop an aneurysm or something? Is it "apologist" to point out that Blizzard has more franchises than just Starcraft?
If you're wondering why I'm commenting, then here's why: How many old PC franchises actually get proper sequels these days? 90% of my favorite games of all time will never again see the light of day. So yeah, it's annoying when great sequel gets released and people bitch about the development time. If Warren Spector announces a PC exclusive, true spirited sequel to Deus Ex tomorrow, I swear some of you around here will still bitch about how long that took. And yeah, I'll respond to you the same way when Valve releases Half Life 3 and you start bitching about how long that took.
