Blizzard = "It is ready when it is ready" and "soon"
They are slow Developers Sam, always have been, always will be.

PS: Do not know if you know yet but the game is split up. If you want to play the single player of another race you have to buy another copy and only one version will be out to begin with.

Meh. So long as they dont decide to charge full retail price for each race :|

Itd be wrong for them to do that, unless they make a complete games worth out of each race. I know other RTSs have had like 6 missions per group before, but that means 18 in total for full retail price in terms of games like Supreme Commander. I think even 10 for a single race isnt enough, though Id pay maybe £15 max for it. (£45 for 30 missions in total, seems alright).

They said come later but charging full price as far as everyone is aware so far. It wont be like an expansion.

I guess they might follow the Dawn of War Model of having 1 playable race, but others in skirmish/MP, and then release second games using the same engine but the other races. I suppose DoW pulled it off.
