.... So this means the last wave of beta will not start before april 28, 2010.....
i recommend you cancel this contest since it's in a purley bad taste of PR..
that or lock the topic.
sine you pretty much just told everyone no sc2 till june 2010 at the earliest.
i see this contest is just another way of distracting people from a really terribly managed game.
this is just a slap in the face......
either give us a date or stop playing around thinking these contest are gonna keep people happy.
it was a mistake to post this contest and it will hurt your stock that i will guarentee another 1-2 point drop today.......just like friday......just like everytime you or activision ignore the gameing community's request's....just like everytime you blue's dissappear for week's on end.....
poor PR=stock price drop in any company-including ATVI
i think it's time you guys relized that and instead of just havin bad PR.
why dont you do something about it,likekeep people in the loop.
have a whats happening at blizz HQ weekly newsletter.
anything is better than these false contest designed as nothing more than a stop gap measure to keep people intrested in SC2 while it gets delayed for no apperant reason.
once again i highly recommend deleting this post or locking it before it does become nothing but a ton of YOUR angry fan's ranting about how this means the beta and the game will not be out till next year.
IF IT DON'T END UP LIKE SC GHOST
EDIT- end of day stock down 4.25%
i say buy ATVI when it hits 8-9$ a share again.
also dont get mad at me and ban another of my cd-key's.
just suck it in and remeber

To participate in each month's contest, simply submit your entries here (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/community/contests/starcraftcomic/index.html) by the 28th of the following month. The first-place winner each month will win keys to the upcoming StarCraft II beta. Check out the official rules for more information here (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/community/contests/starcraftcomic/rules.html).
I told people but they didnt listen to me, cataclism beta is coming first, and sc2 beta in mid quarter of 2010.
Q u o t e: Prizes are not transferable. No substitutions or exchanges (including for cash) of any prizes will be permitted, except that Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value for any prize.
If they finish the game earlier they can just switch the prizes to the full game right? It doesn't mean they have to have a beta until then. But still, it will probably take them until then to finish the game... I don't really care if it doesn't come out soon, there are other games to play and stuff to do, so why whine about it. What matters is if the game is good when it is released, and a company that makes more than 300 millions in profit in a year can afford to wait until they think the game is done.
