I don't know of a single company hosting servers free of charge, except blizzard (duh)ДЇrom what I can gleam from the article, this is essential just an announcement that SC2 will only have one campaign of significantly greater lenght than normal, the other 2 sides will be touched via expansions later. Whether those matchmaking systems are Mplayer, Gamespy, MSN Zone, Steam, or in-game systems like the Ensemble Studios Online (ESO), EA's system (for CNCG / CNC3), or even systems that much smaller companies like Stardock uses for SoaSE. I cannot think of any ranking / matchmaking system that charges players.

Yet they have one of the most successful video games of all time (WoW) constantly supplying them monthly payments and they're soon to release the sequel to a game that is widely considered the best RTS of all time.

I mean, Ensemble Studios is shut down and ESO is still operating, plus Blizzard has been running free for how long. We kind of have to.'Д« is a ranking / matchmaking system. They claim they need to this so they can 'keep making these games and updating features. What is a big deal to me is how they've announced that they will soon charge for.

I mean, if each single player campaign is as detailed and in depth as they say then it really would be three separate games. Splitting the game into three isn't too big of a deal for me. Apparently each game will have the same access to multiplayer content, but there is a rumor that the different versions will allow players 'customization' options online, whatever that means. I've also heard that the Protoss campaign has hardly been started. I'm fairly certain, from what I've read, that each game will cost $50.
