Our friends at StarCraftWire have put up a really nice interview with Chris Sigaty, covering everything from AI programming to E-sports. Also asking questions in the video are instarcraft.de and starcraft2.hu. A must watch.
I must add a comment, that this interview wasn't only for IncGamers, but for InStarcraft.De and Starcraft2.Hu too .. especially I asked about the battle.net and esports, and GeneralMengsk from InStarcraft.
1.(a) I'm glad they're not cutting the story to fit it all in one game. I'm also glad that the new releases will have new units, planets, etc. So it makes sense that you'll have to buy all three.
1.(b) It's probably going to take Blizzard years between releases. I don't think that'll be a lot of money for the gameplay hours at any price. Think about the price per minute of game-play you got on StarCraft 1! LOL. like a half a penny per hour?!
2. Can't wait to play this new AI. It sounds like it's going to be amazing. What will the AI do if you continue to shut down it's scouts?! *so excited*
3. Sucks that they don't rebalance for 2v2 and 3v3 but it's understandable.

Ah ok, I'll update the newspost. I assumed it was scwire only since it was on their site and didn't mention any other sites.
Oh, I didn't say it for that, but thanks. Just for the truth, many fansites had the opportunity at Blizzcon talking to the developers in a 1 developer vs. 3 fansite admins matchup, thank to the community managers who organized this whole stuff.
Especially, not you but Incgamers should have mentioned this.
