The ”premier online gaming destination,” aka Battle.net 2.0, has been fingered as the reason for no StarCraft II this year; albeit it not directly, but we know the truth.
Top big wig Mike Griffith also revealed the Call of Duty 4 entry has almost cleared 14 million copies sold around the globe, with Modern Warfare 2 being the most pre-order Acti game yet.
”Our mission is to develop games that deliver an epic entertainment experience,” Blizzard tell VG247. ”As part of that commitment, we will always take as much time as needed to ensure that our games and services meet the expectations of our players and the standard for quality that we set for ourselves as developers.”
”As we work to make Battle.net the premier online gaming destination, we’ll also continue to polish and refine StarCraft II, and we look forward to delivering a real-time strategy gaming experience worthy of the series’ legacy in the first half of 2010.”
Kotick has already boasted that the new Battle.net is their own Xbox Live, which I’m sure hurt the PlayStation Network’s feelings a little. This has all come out during Activision Blizzard’s Q2 earnings call with investors.
