I was just looking on the main page and noticed that it said Diablo 3 has a release date of 12/31/08. I read the articles and discovered that this title has been in development for 4 years and counting.

How many of you think that date is cement? Or do you think it will be pushed back just like many other great titles have been?

It's just a placeholder date, just as Starcraft 2's placeholder date was December 3rd 2008.

Come on man, lol. Most sites say Starcrat 2 will be released on 2nd(or 3rd as the poster above said) of December 2008 and I don't buy it, but if it were true, most likely Diablo won't be released at the same time. Diablo was "announced" not released. The next 1-2 years they will receive feedback from us, the fans, and improve it, so it's still a long way to go. This announcement was more like a video beta of the game, all they need now is to finalize it.

Yeah I get what you're saying. I guess reading that Blizzard has been working on this title for as long as four years makes you wonder. Eh? =P

I read that and actually I first heard some info on it since 2004 and I've been waiting since. I know what you wrote :P but Diablo and SC2 at release were/are in a way only betas. The reason EA has games soo good, is because they don't "make" them, the fans do. The make them as good as they can and they announce them after that they ask for feedback and they implement, fix, add, etc to make it as the fans want it to be and how they think the game would be better. As it is now it is a beta (already finished by Blizz's standards) but now the finishing touch needs to be added, improvements from fans and making the game as bug-free as possible after that they will release diablo 3 (Blizz's service for their customers)
