Starcraft not in the stars

Hope as it might, Blizzard isn't making any promises that Starcraft will make it to retailers' shelves by the holiday season. The game had been slated for a November release. Of course, when Blizzard's Diablo missed Christmas '96, there seemed to be only a positive impact saleswise. Some might argue that its January launch helped sales since competition was next to nothing. GS News will keep you posted.
