StarCraft 2 Beta: No News is Bad News

Check out this article on the delay of StarCraft 2 on marketwatch.com. Unfortunately, it basically sums up what many of us have already guessed - StarCraft 2 being released in 2009 is starting to look fairly unlikely. Frustrating, with WoW expansions and Diablo III talk when we haven't had a StarCraft game in 11 years. Why let one of the best franchises in PC gaming go the way of Duke Nukem Forever? One snippet:

"The beta testing for 'StarCraft' hasn't started yet. If it starts in August and takes 5-6 months, then launching the game this year is next to impossible," said Jess Lubert, video game analyst with Brean Murray.

And not only has SC2 beta not started yet, the general concensus seems to be that it won't even be announced until after Blizzcon 09. Not really a surprise, since it gives them a big stage to show off SC2, BNET 2.0 and such. Unfortunately, that's not until the end of August. So the question remains: what the fuck are we supposed to do until then?

Well, one idea is that you can join thousands of people demanding answers from the mods on the battle.net SC2 forum. This is about as effective as screaming at plants to grow faster. On the bright side you won't be lonely.

Don't you look at me like that. You had your chance.
