Removes network play from a game whose prequel is a national sport in some countries, just so he can charge for online play that used to be free. Yeah... I really don't like this guy. I'm a professional contributor to this site, so I'll just leave it at that. |
I think it was smart though. Imagine if he release SCII, and charged online for that. There's a possibility that the avaiability of free Starcraft would have offset sales. Although a more politcally correct move would have been to charge Starcraft II online (due to "increasing cost of development" or some BS), he did the most correct move, business wise.
He truly is a scary man O.o Imagine if he was a politician or something. 10+ Dread.
