I understand the need for lan from my college days... but really... that's not such a big portion of the userbase who need it. (though it certainly is the most vocal and the most active one).

I don't even use it that often. It's the pure principle of the matter that they take away something so integral as LAN. That's just starting on a road to dumbed down blandless games like the ones on consoles that are extremely limited. No thank you, I'd rather bitch and not give Blizzard money for their weakest game.

Plus that whole "they first came for the jews, and I said nothing...." saying.

In the case of LAN, I don't think you can pin that one on the consoles.  I mean, AFAIK, LAN has never been as big on consoles, but what IS on consoles isn't getting any worse.  Is it? 

I wasn't pinning it on consoles. I am saying that it's an integral feature that got removed, much like consoles dumb down and remove integral features of their games. coughDedicatedServerscough.
