| theshrike said: No one has said anything about boycotting the game. I am saying that it is a pain in the ass, and I am less likely to buy i as soon as it comes out. I will still probably end up playing it. I am just not as hyped as I was before the announcement, (hence off the hype train). Blizzard has a long track record of catering to its customers. As some who has played multiplayer exclusively on LAN, the game doesn't really cater to me any more. I know I am not the only who feels this way. |
When you say "No one", are you referring to yourself or the countless people over the internet that has stated that they would avoid/not buy SC2 based on blizzard's Lan decision? Because I wasn't pointing out anyone specific, much less you.
Anyways, I'd like to point out (again) to all those out there still wondering why they would take away Lan support. It's simple, there are ways to play online against people all over the world by using Lan to connect to a 3rd party match maker. Countries in Asia usually do this the most. What this does is encourage piracy and prevents blizzard from verifying legit copies of games. Also, those 3rd party match makers (like QQ) are even able to make money off the "service" which is just plain stupid.
There's absolutely no reason to hate on blizzard for trying to protect their business.
