Glynnis Talken Campbell (Kerrigan) will not reprise role in Starcraft II
Despite appearing in the Kerrigan reveal trailer shown at BlizzCon 2008, Glynnis Talken Campbell, the original voice of StarCraft's Queen of Blades, will not be voicing the character in StarCraft II.
Campbell said, "Well, it just figures, doesn't it? Blizzard just gave me my Dear John phone call. Basically, it was "We can still be friends—we just don't want to see you anymore." Ha ha! Ah well...that's showbiz. Anyway, thank you for a wonderful and touching article—it's a great going away present, and I'll cherish it."
Does this really change much things? I mean...the voices? In Starcraft? Yeah I dont know for some reason I cant see this as being so life-changing or game-changing.

More importantly, it has come to my attention that Heath Ledger will not be reprising his role as The Joker in the next Batman movie. I find this outrageous, and I think something needs to be done about it.
Something just hit me. Why are they dropping all these voice actors? Obviously because Blizzard is swapping all the models and textures and turning this into a WoW expansion! They have betrayed the hardcore! Just like Nintendo!
I do wonder what's up with blizzard and voice actors recently. Other than their in-house ones (who vary wildly in quality), they can't seem to hold on to anyone.
Are these completely unrelated and bizarre coincedinces, some kind of policy change, personal disputes... what?
I kinda stopped caring about SC2 when it turned into a segmented clone of the original with better graphics.
Call me silly.
I kinda stopped caring about DoW 2 when I played the beta and it turned out to be a horrible game.
Call me silly, because the thread has nothing to do with DoW 2, kind of like your post has nothing to do with the OP.

Anyways, about Kerrigan, it sucks but I'm not entirely sure it's thread worthy. The only real thing to discuss here is why they did it, petitions are not going to change anybodies decision.

They seem to be holding onto Cam Clarke just fine.

He makes a great Blood Elf.
Sadly, he makes an awful dragon deity.

And here's the link to the original article that Glynnis is talking about instead of dumb Kotaku

Sad and strange. Not going to sign that petition though.
You don't care.
This is the saddest thing to have happened in the industry since Iron Lore went out of business.
If this concerns you, maybe you should take a step back?
ahaahahahahahahaaaahaha

I never like it when actors/voice actors change, but that's Hollywood! 8-)

Blizzard Suit: "Shit. Now we have to get her back."
Well this new villain certainly looks a lot like our bestest pal from the last movie.

Christ, VAs don't reprise 11 year old roles. Whoopie fucking doo.
What's that to do with DoW2 now? Did he hurt your feelings when he stated his opinion on the game the thread's about?

I have a WH40k avatar, so the fanboy automatically assumed my comment had to do with DoW 2.

That make it clear for you chief?
I have a no fuck you avatar so you automatically assumed my Dawn of War 2 sucked and you suck and it has to do with DoW 2 sucking.
It's kinda too bad she's not reprising, and Raynor. I always liked their voices. But I mean, 11 years is a long time so what can you do?

I got the impression from an earlier quote that she'd be willing to do it if asked.
So, what you can do is ask.
Not really, princess. But I don't want to get in the way of your rabid defensiveness or anything so I will offer this:
The petition, unless overwhelmingly amazingly successful, won't change a thing. That's generally how it works. Wonder why they made the change though.

Are you really that dense or are you just playing dumb because you felt like taking a dump and there was no more space in the DoW2 thread?
Let it go jesus.
I still love you, even though we sleep in different beds now.
:whistle:
Apologies for thread derailment, lads. Carry on.

Thread was already shit by post 3 anyway, I just sort of get tired of those types of posts.
Lanrutcon, could have singled out two other posters from first page for what it's worth.
G'day sir.
