    When they said open world shooter, I was thinking more Far Cry than Destiny, but of course this being Blizzard they will pick the option that tries to monetize it the most.

      I only thought Destiny because StarCraft is just a hodgepodge of SciFi shit from other IPs. So I thought of the biggest name “open world” SciFi shooter that recently existed and I would say Destiny is it unfortunately.

          They won’t do that. But they’ll have the season passes, in-game micro transactions for skins, probably episodic bullshit too. Thats my guess.

      The dude who was on stage during the announcement, Dan Hay, was apparently a producer on all the FarCry games since 3, so that tracks, but as you said, how can they extract a billion dollars from that.
