Sad news for all Starcraft fans - again. Together with the report about the earnings for the second quarter Activision has also announced that Starcraft 2 will be released in 2010 and not as expected in 2009. Mike Morhaime said during the conference call that the game is delayed because the components for Battle.net 2.0 have not been finalized yet.

Only recently the announcement that Starcraft 2 won't support multiplayer games via LAN caused an uproar in the community and fans even started a petition asking Blizzard to integrate a LAN mode into Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. The developers were able to win back many supporters when they announced that Robert Clotworthy would return as the voice of Jim Raynor.

I knew this will happen *way back*.....given to Blizzard attitude.This will happen to Diablo III to,trust me...Diablo III will come in 2011 along with the second expansion from SC II. Anyway...still looking forward but i'm very dissapointed :|

This won't have any repercussions on Diablo 3, was already confirmed. And by all looks Diablo 3 will be released on 2011 (if) regardless.

Plus, if this is the true reason, this excuse ****s so much! Let the people play Single Player or not completed B.Net - its not like as if they won't update B.Net in the feature!

If i was one of the korean-fan-boys i'd be pissed!
