well its understanding if they plan to make db3 and sc2 last a long long while with updates / patches (mmo style, instead of buying an expansion)

if they charge, say a subscribtion fee, then i can see something like xbox live. 40-50 a year and that includes access to sc2 and db3 (and any other game that uses the new bnet) on bnet.

but i do believe they are just trying to attract some ads and stuff of that sort because i know that blizzard knows the people like it free to play on bnet

 

They just came out with 1.12 for Diablo II. Seems like they have been just fine with patches and updates to the games.... Also Xbox Live is the number one reason why I dont have a 360. Who the frik pays to play multiplayer games other than MMOs in this day and age, seriously? If this goes through it will be the number 1 reason why I pirate and play my Blizzard games on private servers.
