I never said you couldnt go to LANs. Your LAN just needs the GOD DAMNED INTERNET, which if you aren't a caveman SHOULDNT BE A PROBLEM.

if the latency was lan-like I wouldn't complain at all
it is not lan-like latency so that is why I bitch my mouth out screaming

Great attitude.

Says the master of whine.

LOL this line of thought reminds me of

Hidden Content:

Hah. Yeah, that's exactly what I said >_>
So saying that I think something specific will happen in the future, is like saying there's a god? Great logic there.

And for the record, I'm as far from religious as you can get.

Oh nice your trying to shift the blame for Blizzard not providing LAN support on to colleges.

I don't blame Blizzard for not adding LAN. LAN means hamachi servers and other third party clients. Which means people doesn't have to use Battle.net. Which means the game will be pirated. A lot.

A minority might miss LAN. I won't, because I realize the bigger scope of things. You have proven, time and time again, that you don't.

This would only be relevant if adding this feature ramped up piracy among other countries and cost the manufacturer tons and tons of money. Blizzard was right in removing LAN. I'm glad they did. Obviously, LAN will be put into StarCraft 2 through emulating servers or offline hacks. Once we have that, we have nothing to have lost but Blizzard will have gained the right to enforce against piracy and spawned copies.

Quite simple. I'm soooo tried of repeating this

I just don't see the point in tempting pirates. We all know its going to be pirated, so just start with it and retain your reputation. Give people a reason to buy it fairly, give them a solid game with a solid community foundation, and they won't feel the need to pirate it. Its not like you're giving the guns to the terrorists because they're going to get them anyway. Its LAN for fucks sake.

As backwards as it sounds, keeping stuff from battle.net 1 wouldn't have delayed battle.net 2 nearly as long as what they did by removing it then trying to put it back in later.

.

which means that the game will be pirated either way...

as much as I always liked to support game developers by buying their games if they fit me, this time (if they won't improve the battle.net features much or add more retarded things for money) I will be happy if the game will be pirated as hell

[Dauntless]

which means that the game will be pirated either way...

Not the multiplayer. Maybe the single player, but the single player doesn't have unlimited playtime anyway.

Quoted for truth!

if the latency was lan-like I wouldn't complain at all

So if Blizzard adds pseudo-lan, everyone is fine with it. Right? Or will people still bitch about something anyway? Yeah.. that sounds more likely.

$2 here is probably more like $5-$10 there.

Joke? $2 is $2. If they were talking about their own currency they would've used won. The price is about 2400 won. 2$ is the translation, I guess you could say, so that you could understand it.

You have an avatar of a bill. You should know these things

Chances are it will be. So stop getting yourself worked up other nothing.

Dauntless can you explain how having the retail version of SC2 be inferior to the pirated version discourages piracy?

[spychi]

Not the multiplayer. Maybe the single player, but the single player doesn't have unlimited playtime anyway.

oh really? and how do you know that? battle.net 0.0000002 is unbeatable? I put my money that crackers will do their job within a month after the release

I just hope that everyone who tries to defend Blizzard will be right, so that I will go and buy the game with a smile on my face
or we are screwed

[ArcherofAiur]

For me, removing LAN is like removing your cellphone's clock. Yeah, you don't really need it, you can just buy a watch... but why not include it if you can? The iPhone has 200,000 friggin apps for a reason.

More like buying a wristwatch with no second hand. Yah it will tell you the time. Just not as well and you might lag by a minute.




Oh and also you cant check your wristwatch on Tuesday mornings
