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. 

Bad move lots of peole enjoy the LAN.

@bbsin
by no one I meant no one in this thread has said boycott. To be honest, I didnt know LAN could be used to play people all over the world. My personal interest is in playing a group of people in my living room. most post I have seen on the subject (not this forum) have been issues about a single net connection being able to handle multiple connections to the same place. I cant say I know for sure because I have only used LAN but it is is a cause for concern for me.
Thats why I dislike that they are discarding a system that I know works for something that might not.

(I didnt realize I missed my 100th post, dammit)

double post.

I don't have a problem with anyone that's dissapointed with the killing of LAN support, it's the hackers and pirates to blame, it's just that we (the people that buy legit copies) has to pay for it. That's just how it is, and it's a damn shame but it's not Blizzard's fault.

Other than that, I wasn't really implying that people in this thread were the "boycotters" either.... BUT

All from this very thread.

Not buying =/= boycotting. A boycott is a protest; these people may just have decided LAN was critical to the value of the product to them.

There better be some fucking LAN play!

Not really. To boycott something is to abstain from buying, using or dealing with a certain product or maker, usually because the product/producer has or is doing something that the boycotter deems unheathly, unethical, or just can't agree with. A boycott CAN be a protest, but doesn't have to be. You don't have to go around telling everyone that starcraft2 is stupid because it doesn't have LAN and not to buy it to technically boycott the game.

In this case, people are refusing to buy starcraft2 because they believe it's wrong that Blizzard has terminated LAN support. Thus, they are boycotting the game.

I think by boycott some people mean I won't get a bootleg copy because I won't be able to play MP

I thought about buying a pencil, but I decided against it.  I boycotted that pencil?  Who knew!
