This is very interesting. I'll have to pick you're book up.

I watched the StarCraft I cinematic CD with the developer commentary (have you seen it?) and it was hilarious. Some of those cinematics where hammered out in 24 hours with absolutely no clue on where in the game it would go. They excelled in trying different lense flares...

Blizzard has always struck me as putting a lot of time into their games and they change direction a lot in development until they arrive at what they see as a good game.

Through your research did you see a positive trend of going from a more haphazard approach to gaming development within Blizzard to a more focused style? Do you have any insight into how their development process has changed for better or worse?

I'm curious because like someone else on the thread has said, in the past Blizzard could do no wrong, but now (as in D3 and SC2) they appear to be making strange choices in the final outcomes of their games.

They had it at the Blizzard store. Not sure if they still sell it.
