MAN when will they release more info about diablo 3?!

Both SC2 and D3 will be out before the next Blizzcon. That aside, Blizzard is fairly tightlipped about what they'll reveal to the public, but for the most part they release good games, so I'll just say: trust :p

No its not a lot..I think teams can be up to like 200 or more sometimes...blizzard typically has smaller teams so that they can keep the creative control over their projects instead of having the madness of the larger teams

50 is not a lot, but probably is just the number of developer staff working on the game. There will also be a large number of playtesters that will take many months to test the balance of the game.

Blizzard do tend to take their time making games, but when they come out they work well. I'd rather wait an extra couple of months and get a great balanced game, than get it early, suffer through bugs and then have a character nerfed in the first patch.

With the huge success of WoW, Blizzard are in the enviable position of being able to fund their own development, and crucially set their own release dates. If they decide the game isn't ready they can delay it without the repurcussions that smallers developers have with publishers.
