Why Starcraft 2 will be the First Game I Buy in 2 Years

It's no secret I'm a huge fan of Blizzard Entertainment. Not just because of their games, but because of their design mentality, their close-connection to their fan-base, and a winning business model that attracts employees from around the world, and keeps them coming back for work every day 9 to 5.

Blizzard Entertainment, at least in recent times, has failed to put out a bad game. The reason for this is simple: if it's bad, they won't release it. Ever since the not-so-famous Warcraft Adventures, Blizzard Entertainment (or I guess I should say, Activision-Blizzard now) has always stated they would rather pull a game that's finished from the production line that have it released and hurt the company's image.

This is why Starcraft: GHOST was cut, and why the last game I bought was Wrath of the Lich King.

I can't think of any other company that I have so much faith in. Blind faith, perhaps, but faith nevertheless. While I may not be super excited about all their big upcoming titles (Cataclysm, yes. Diablo 3, maybe not), I still think Blizzard is one of those rare companies that takes so much pride in their work, that they'd rather pull a product from the shelves then let it be a flop and waist their fans' time and money.

Needless to say, you all know where I'm going to be Tuesday...
