Enjoying the StarCraft II beta? Well, you’d better get your fill while you still can, because come May 31, you’ll have to get your spacefaring RTS fix elsewhere. That’s right: beginning in less than two weeks, you’ll have to go without StarCraft II for nearly two months.

“We’d like to thank all of our beta-test participants for your enthusiasm, dedication, and valuable feedback during the beta test, and we look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the StarCraft II beta test as the game’s July 27 launch approaches,” Blizzard said.

The beta will, however, have one last hurrah in July, a couple weeks before StarCraft II officially launches. In the meantime, Blizzard will be making “some hardware and software configuration changes in preparation for the final phase of the beta test and the release of the game.”
 
Dumb Blizzard and your obsessive perfectionism. Maybe, if your games weren’t so polished and fun to play, we wouldn’t forget we were playing a beta and end up disappointed when it comes to an end. Seriously, did you ever think of our feelings?
