Forums - PC Discussion - In the Future BattleNet will Cost Money

Uh, I'm not really too interested in paying for Bnet. Heck, they had even said that it was going to remain free before this. Part of me is dying inside, I might have to shed a tear when I load up my Bnet Diablo 2 characters.

Has Activision ever heard the well-known phrase "DO NOT FUCK WITH the goose that lays the golden eggs"?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

@twestrn
You'd think I'd recognize sarcasm better given how much of it I lay down.

@c0rd
The exact same sentiments. The past 4 days have been like a living nightmare.

@dgm6780
It's been free so far, and Blizzard has been making more money than ever from its games. Why the fuck should they change it now?

@Final-Fan
The moment I heard the merger I thought "this will not go down well at all."

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

fuck Destructoid. Twesterm, you keep using shitty blogs as source of your threads and that's just wrong.

Blizzard has said many times that Blattle.net will be FREE!!! What Battle.net will have is an optional subscription that will give things like "play all B.net games despite not having the original games", "avatar customization", etc... no doubt they won't give ingame items because it will disrupt the games balance.

And for anyone wondering, they have already said this almost like a year ago, it's old news.

Wait, really?

Really?

It's really not that surprising and all too easy to blame on Activision.

No, they had already talked about this before merging with Activion. And battle.net will be FREE. The subscription is optional

This sucks. I'm not paying to play Starcraft online..

good, because Starcraft 2 online is FREE, Battle.net is FREE.

I remember they said it was under consideration somewhere, but it would be perfect.

So twestrm has at least SOME sources, with words from the developers nontheless. Provide yours please.
