very funny as an april fools joke.... almost as funny as the one last year, but this one if it actually goes through would be a very market friendly and profitably idea..... mabye they should expand a bit to the younger customers.

Is there an age limit? Because at 23, I would still play this shiz.

How many Zergling's does it take to take down 1 marine, kids? 2-3!! CORRECT!

What Blizz is actually trying to do is to market the games for kids, in hopes that they will play their games in the future.

ummmmm......is this an april fools thing? cause its supposed to be for kids, yet the last one on the preview page is rated M. plus, they all seem very strange. i get that they are based in the blizz universe, but why would a kid need to know how a warp drive works? they all seem satirical in a way i cant really explain.....hope this is an april fools, cause if not........you need help blizz..........

@Mardenaian: ROFLMAO!!!! I laughed hard when I read that one. However, Blizz has just simply realised that underneath all the haters there is definitely room to capitalize on the forums.... heck even the hating is sometimes constructive criticism.... However sometimes you have to admit they have to wade pretty deep in the BS to fish out the good stuff.

@Mardenaian: BTW Blizz I still think you should have gone with my idea to make a simplified keyboard and mouse attachment for the consoles for D3. Sell the equipment and the game to console players..... Hows that for a good free piece of advice to capitalize on. That will get you all the additional D3 exposure you want and simplify the problems you're having trying to retrofit a game for two sets of controls. Plus like I said you get to sell the hardware. So yeah I'll take my beta keys now plz. Even though I signed up 2 days before teh bomb was dropped about the beta key invite order I've been a player since warcraft one... yeah the origional not Wow and I'm willing to give you good free information via the forum. Oh yeah the Kids idea is great... I might have tried to position it as a subsidiary though. That way you can capitalize on your fame with out risking your image to the fan base that is a little wet behind the ears IE this guy above me :)
