O.P. Starcraft II going trilogy
As lot of people already knows -as you see on the subject- Starcraft II will be divided into a trilogy.

The single player will be affected, and multiplayer not much.

For summary: SC2 got so big, and the terran campaign is so big, solid and took too much time to make, their decision was divide the game into 3 separate products.

Their schema is like this: Terran (base), Zerg (expansion) and Protoss (expansion).

Multiplayer will have the 3 races since the beginning, but the expansions will only give some improvements to multiplayer, like units, features and upgrades.

More details here:
[Kotaku] StarCraft II Single Player Is A Trilogy!
[Kotaku] StarCraft II Lead Producer On The Split Single Player Campaign



Personal opinion: I really think this is a really bad idea, if they want to make a really good story, they could have made 1/3 of the story per race.

Also, I really hope expansions are nos another $60, with that the whole package will be $180 which I don't think it deserves it.

What do you think about this?

pft, but that would be fail, less story per race. I don't know about you but its one of the reasons why I love blizzard, the game is basically a novel :P

I would pay it, it seems like it has a huge amount of game time, and the orginal starcraft well... I still play it online....

As long as the content justifies it, I see no problem there.

Developing games has become extremely expensive. If we want things always bigger and better, we have to be able to keep up to the needs of the companies (again, when justified, and so far, Blizzard never did anything fishy).
