Instead of editing the first topic(I can't edit the topic title), I want to simply just make a new one. Mods can you just lock the other one I made?
The reason why I'm making a new topic is because this is "big news" concerning the SC2 trilogy. Also because some people may read the topic I made, then never read it again(without knowing that I edited the topic) without knowing about the new big news.
Click for the interview, the big news is at the near end of the interview
Near the end, Dustin Browder says that the two other games ARE INDEED expansion packs.
He says they will add new features such as new units, new features to battle.net/multiplayer, new features to the Starcraft 2 editor, etc.
He also compared it to Warcraft 3 and Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne. He says (Paraphrasing)"Noticed how World Editor is a lot more powerful in Frozen Throne?", he says that in comparison to what each Starcraft 2 expansion pack will add.
And we all know that Frozen Throne added a lot of features to the editor.
Anyway, this is good news, we know that they ARE expansion packs and not just "splitting 1 game into 3".
For the price, I'm probably going to assume the expansion packs are cheaper than the core games since they're expansion packs.
Edit 1 -
Some new news. All the article basically says is that the expansions will have a year gap. They said it "could" take longer than a year but that also means that you'll know the expansion packs will pack tons of new features.
Like Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne(which is 1 year gap), the expansions will have about a 1 year release gap between each other.
Edit 2 - To those of you who are wondering why they don't just pack it all in one game:
See below
You got that right. If they didn't make expansion packs and just simply packed it all at once, we'd probably have to wait until 2011 until we'd get starcraft 2.

He said "a year or more between each one" that means that means that the expansion packs will add A LOT of stuff.
What's better:
1. Getting SC2 as early as 2009 but having to buy expansion packs in 2010 and 2011.
OR
2. Saving $60(assuming expansion is $30 each) but having to wait all the way until 2011 until you get Starcraft 2.

I don't get it. Why don't they develop the entire thing into one package?
