Starcraft 2 makes major announcements (and I am off the hype train)

The biggest issue for me is removing an element that has worked for decades, fairly trouble free, simple and replacing it with more moving parts that can go wrong.
I don't use Bnet at all really, but I enjoy lan games with my friends. even dealing with routers has been in a pain in the ass so we use a switch so people don't get dropped.
From what I read there have been plenty of instances where people have issues with trying to host a game over the internet with the same connection.

essentially why tout a system that is bound to have faults when there is already a perfectly good system set up. I prefer to have more control than handing it off to them and hope everything works out for the best.

Also I dont appreciate what you are implying. Just because I dont like being treated like a pirate doesnt mean I am one.

at any rate it changed from buy when it comes out to not buying it until at least 4-5 people I know buy it first so I can play it with them (most people I know tend to be slow late adopters)
