What is the true purpose of StarCraft 2?

All I'm going to say is, stay tuned for Dawn of War 2.

People, don't let this thread go off-topic. It's about the true purpose of StarCraft 2, not the true purpose of [insert RTS game here].

Anyway, here's what I think StarCraft 2's true purpose is:

1. To sell millions so Blizzard could enjoy the incalculable amounts of profit.
   
2. To continue an otherwise incomplete StarCraft storyline.
   
3. To be just another RTS title on the market, albeit a very good one.

I also think a big goal will be to show off the new battle.net

I loved the changes they made to it for the frozen throne. I just wish they would of carried the hero function from wc3 over to sc2

and yes, graphics are never really top notch for blizzard games because not only do they sell to all areas of the windows computers but they also makes their games available on Mac's from the start

Yeah, I think I agree with Anaron's 2nd reason "To continue an otherwise incomplete StarCraft storyline." I think Blizzard got enough cash from WoW. Maybe it's time to continue what's left behind in SC1.

That is what they are already doing.

Im not one to normally say something like this, but jeese can you not just be happy that the game is being made and that it might just be fun to play?

Seriously guys stop stressing and geekin out over something you havent played yet.

Oh and btw id guess that all this "oh but its an updated wc engine with sc skins" nonsense is somewhat falling on deaf ears. You do know that theres been about 20 or so franchises over the years that have used there propiatory engines and when making a sequel have taken the engine and not just updated, but used the it as a map of sorts to flesh out a 2nd engine, thats written from the ground up and or in different scripting languages.

Think how windows has been updated and built upon. If it aint broke....

Morphen +1, the games "purpose" isnt to peeve fans off or to act as our new bible. Its there for dare I say people to enjoy and have fun playing. Get the feeling theres either some serious SC nerds here or that people have too much time to think up Blizzard conspiracy theorys :p
