00:00I have over 20,000 hours in the StarCraft games,
00:02but I can't tell if I'm excited about StarCraft Dominion.
00:05Let me tell you why.
00:06Once upon a time, I viewed Blizzard as the number one mark of quality in the entire games industry.
00:11Any game they launched, I was going to play on day one.
00:14Lately, though, there have been hits as well as misses.
00:17Some great expansions. Diablo 2 Remastered was awesome.
00:21Warcraft 3 Reforged was not.
00:23So I've taken a neutral approach with Blizzard, as I do with many other developers.
00:26I just wait and see.
00:27I wait for gameplay, I wait to see reviews, and then I'll make a decision whether to play it then.
00:33So, when it comes to StarCraft Dominion, here's what's weird.
00:36That game's coming out in 2030.
00:39It's 2026. That's four years from now.
00:42Look at this for a contrast.
00:44Hearthstone, Overwatch, Diablo Immortal, Diablo 4, Overwatch 2.
00:48When all of those games were announced, there was a playable thing for people to get their hands on that
00:53day.
00:54Like Diablo 4, the day it was announced, had a playable demo on the show floor at BlizzCon.
01:00StarCraft Dominion, I didn't see any gameplay.
01:02I saw one of the sickest trailers ever.
01:04I've rewatched that so many times looking for more details.
01:07I love the Caprulu sector.
01:09But four years is a very long time.
01:11So, as I was saying before, I tend to take a wait-and-see approach.
01:15But that's a hell of a wait.
01:16It just feels weird to announce something four years in advance.
01:20So, I guess we'll see.
