It's like a test activision is conducting on how much they can literally squeeze out of the fans. I mean what is their breaking point so they can graph a 5 year plan on raising franchise costs to the absolute maximum without having a negative sales effect. Shit this game is going to cost some suckers 300+ dollars to finish the single player game.
I personally don't look forward to every franchise game price point becoming 75-100 dollars in the future just because of this.

The problem is that we are all gaming junkies and the dope man knows we need SC2 fix bad. When you're jones'n, you'll pay whatever it takes.

Sadly, that's the model most dev companies are trying to have now. As a result, buying some games will become a type of financial investment. You won't simply walk into a store and buy 2-3 games for a couple of bucks and be done with it. Nope. You'll have to invest upwards to $100 for a single game + bonus content fees + the possibility of subscription fees (dependent, but likely). Because of this upwards shift to making games more like an investment, and due to the pressures of making such games and keeping things "standard" (I hate that word >>), a lot of developers who used to make huge games are leaking into the independent scene. Heck, half of my current contacts in the indie scene don't want to make the jump to commercial game development because A) they don't want to make games that have to be justified by cost and tons of content people may never care about and B) the environment you're forced to work in isn't always (if not at all) fun.

On that note, no, I won't be buying all 3 versions of Starcraft 2, even though I love that game to death. It's not worth upwards to $200 when half of the game really isn't any better than the original in some areas. =P
