Blizzard Gets Democratic with StarCraft 2 Unit Vote
by Nick Breckon, Jan 08, 2009 12:09pm PSTThe developers at Blizzard have taken fan input to the next level.
Visitors of StarCraft2.com now have the option to vote between two models created for the Protoss Dark Templar unit. The chosen unit will be used for the game--the loser, shamed and doomed to exist only on the internet.
Blizzard is also presenting a third option to users: "The third and final option is to have both tribes represented. When you build a dark templar, either the Lenassa or Zer'atai dark templar would spawn randomly."
Thanks to Chepito for the interesting news.

C&C did it, and it looks so much sexier.
Too bad they'll never change it, and my voice is completely useless.

Seriously. When game companies start asking people to pick out their models for them, it's never a good sign. I'm all for fan input, but not when it comes down to two crappy choices that they could easily make for themselves.
This is just a PR stunt to raise interest in the game which is bland for all those who aren't fanboys. I will appreciate SC2, but it's nothing I'm actually on the edge of my seat looking forward to based on the gameplay trailers I've seen.
