As if Blizzard needed even more money, the company had decided on releasing StarCraft 2 as a trilogy, having each game offer one civilization.

The Shrapnel Games forums offers a laugh based on the announcement. Their tongue-in-cheek announcement is as follows:

A sneak peek for all you blog readers. Dominions IV: The Profiteering will feature eighty playable nations, and since that’s way too much game to fit on one disc it will be broken up into eighty full games.

Furthermore, Dominions IV: The Profiteering will introduce the concept of the collectible manual! Each copy will feature ten pages of the manual. Collect all games to get the full manual!

Expect episode one, EA Ulm, to ship Q4 2009, with episode eighty, LA R’lyeh to hit the streets Q2 2017.

Thanks Blizzard, couldn’t think of this without you!

Indeed! We should all thank Blizzard for inspiring such awesome satire.
