StarCraft II - Image 1Blizzard is well known for their release policy of "it's done when it's done". Some people may balk at the open-endedness of this schedule, but really, with the high quality of products they are known to make, no one is in the position to complain or to dare challenge them to go faster -- not even Activision. But when StarCraft II does release, you can rest assured it's gonna be thoroughly polished, enough to earn Activision Blizzard as much as US$ 40 million in its opening quarter. Just ask the analysts.

ESA - Image 1What to do when your event is drawing flak and your circle of supporters are leaving one by one? Try a different strategy, for one.
