There is nothing wrong with them making plenty of money on it.  From my understanding Blizzard has put 100million into it so they should get all they can out of it.   And if the game is good I hope they make tons of cash, that would only mean more SC.

But when they start taking features away primarily due to a pirating issue, this is where I take offense.  Most of these people who would put a hacked version on their computer would probably never purchase the game to begin with any way.  So the only thing they are actually doing is limiting the paying customer out of a feature that many want.

Besides, I would be willing to bet that eventually someone will figure a way of playing multiplayer without using Bnet anyways.  Probably within the first 6 months or less.


I'm not sure that's true. That may be the case with most games, but blizzard games have such high replay factor, a lot of people will fork over the cash if need be. Literally half my friends that I played DOTA with (pre-League of Legends) used pirated copies, so we had to play on G-Arena. We played hundreds of games though. If servers like G-Arena couldn't have hosted it, I'm pretty sure they'd have forked over $30 to buy a battlechest
