i don't get why people would pirate sc to play campaign. there's a story there, yes, and you get to learn about the units, but most of the fun is in multiplayer (as it is with most games) and i'm pretty sure you can't experience that on a pirated copy.

yes, activision is splitting sc2 into 3 parts to milk the cash cow as much as they can. it's activision, the company that made a shitload of sequels for guitar hero and call of duty. i can't complain though. knowing how picky blizzard is with their games, they would have delayed it another 5 yrs if it was just to be a standalone sc2 + a future expansion. 2 additional sc2 will be like expansions and hopefully they add 2-3 new units/per race. what more can a sc fan want? i rather have my sc2 now then in 2015. i'm just not happy that i'll have to pay $180 for all three, but over time it's not as bad as it seems.

before i got into PCs, which was fairly recently, i wondered why pc gaming was dying. googled and read some articles and there are a majority of reasons. one of the main reasons is piracy and developers not making as much due to it than on a console version. they spend all their time and money developing a game on pc that's going to get pirated, when the console market is more lucrative. plus they have to worry about different specs when developing compared to consoles since people have all types of different pcs. with consoles, everyone has a standard unit. there are other reasons, such as a gaming pc costing way more than a console. for $300, people can get a console and not worry if a game will run on it. the average joe will go with a xbox or ps3 if they know nothing about building a pc.

i'm starting to get most of my games on pc except for multiplayers (which i'll usually get on xbox because of the xbox live userbase) and exclusives, which ill get on xbox, ps3, or wii, respectively. most of the single player games i'm getting on pc like fallout 3, mass effect, bioshock, just cuase 2, etc. the resolution and graphics are just plain superior and i don't know why people would settle for less. plus pc games are usually cheaper than consoles and you can get some great sales on steam.
