yah starcraft 2 will be out before D3, i think after they release WOW and SC:ghost they will start working on starcraft 2 or maybe even both (as there are 2 blizz locations) and for blizz getting bough out, that would be one of the worst things that could happen to great company like that, EA would make everything P2P, that would suck!!!!!!!!!! neways, where did u hear they are getting bought?
