Blizzard, kindly do NOT fuck this up.

On the other hand, kindly do NOT take 2 more years to develop it :(

  I disagree. Take your time and make it fucking good.

    Not yet.
    
    They've had a great run so far - it can't last forever, surely? I think that someday - in the future - Blizzard will release something that's perceived as an inferior product. As long as it's not this game, I'll be happy :(

    Ghost, with it's endless delays and lack of release? Though I suppose since Blizzard handed it off to someone else to look after that it might not be their fault.

      Exactly, Blizzard wasn't the primary dev.

      That's not a fuckup. It's only a fuckup if they release a bad game to the public, something they obviously haven't done yet. Scrapping a game like Ghost or Warcraft Adventures is points for Blizzard, imo.

      I can only assume that Blizzard would have ensured that he was up for the job before hiring him as a lead designer. There's a few real duds in his resume but maybe he had a bad dev team or design constraints imposed upon the game, as opposed to him sucking at his job.

      Well he was only one of the many designers in that one.
      
      In Red Alert 2 (super awesome game), he was one of the lead designers.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's atleast out of touch with the american audience. And, I mean, it's being developed by Blizzard Korea, right? I don't think they have any kind of track record, do they?

        I thought they did? I read that that is who was doing this whole announcement back when they made the announcement of the announcement.
