Blizzard Hints At New StarCraft, Launches Burning Crusade

Game Developer Blizzard Entertainment's long-anticipated expansion to World of Warcraft has gone live. Initial impressions are ... not available, since all 8 million players are currently in the Outlands. I'll take that to mean the servers for the most part have not melted yet. At a Burning Crusade launch party, a Blizzard exec revealed we may see a new StarCraft game very soon. But today is all about WoW. If you're not playing, and want to live vicariously, check out WarCry's extensive preview of the expansion. You could read designer Jeff Kaplan's comments on new features at FiringSquad, or Shane Dibiri's talk of inspiration at Next Generation. One new expansion a year, eh? Some folks are already looking to the future, where we probably won't see WoW on consoles, but may see it with security dongles. 0.1% of the Earth's population can't all be wrong.

Starcraft? Dongles? by timeOday · 2007-01-16 02:26 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Dongles aren't needed since piracy isn't much of an issue with an online game, and any other game they release is unlikely to be equally or more successful than WoW.
It seems to me that Blizzard's life couldn't possibly get any better than it already is, why mess with it? Sit back, release an expansion once per year, and enjoy the torrent of cash.
