| Yeah, they are trying to cut down on piracy by hurting everybody. I'd love to hear Blizzard explanation seeing as SC and SC:BW have sold millions of copies even with LAN support. All this is, is just another stake in the heart of SC2. Personally, if Blizzard is stupid enough to take something as critical as LAN support out; I'll be happy to see SC2 fail. |

the explanation is this... why make a shit ton of money when you can make more? why sell it as 1 when you can sell it as 3?
imagine how much money they will make? its the proffit motive. typically, its pretty corrupting and destroys things. lol we will see. |

Not having LAN is the single dumbest idea they have ever had. There's absolutely NO reason not to have LAN games possible. It allows you to play with your friends if you're somewhere where you don't have high speed access (or no internet at all). It also eliminates the lag you'll find on B.net. Am I the only one who finds this completely ridiculous?
They can still make plenty of money if they have LAN. Just require that you need 2 different CD keys, or require that you need a CD to be in in order to play the game. There are ways they can make it work, this is just pure bullshit.Last edit: 2009-06-29 22:57:39 |

oh btw ya, i know that i personally have bought about 5 coppies of SC and BroodWar.
because i go though phases in gaming and have lost the CD a number of times. also a couple times it got damaged. and im not into any sort of cloning or "sharing" because i personally dont like it. im sure many many people have similar stories.
but like i said, why make money when you can make more. their hope is they can do it without ruining the game. of course. |

i have a question: Was NDA for THAT??
Sorry but only realy new think could be said in one santance - you now what u can do in replays - now you can do it as obs...
ok there were few new things but in my opinion nothing worth doing NDA (conspiracy - are they hiding something  )
About LAN, if they realy took it out then after a month (bha few days) it comes out there will be appropriate softwere to play game on LAN...

So newbies can have an easier time.....

linear tech trees is really a disappointement. i HATE HATE to be one of the nay sayers, but especially with the protoss. your advancd buildings had 3 branches. so scouting a Adun compared to a Robtoics or Stargate lead to other things. now, none of the buildings are dependant on any of the others? except the photon cannon.
are you kidding? |

Sigh. I'm looking less and less forward to the release with every "update" tbh....
But until then I hope they will put Zerg on equal status with the other races, I have a bad feeling  .
And about the LAN-feature not being implemented, if they don't patch it in I'm sure someone with a lot of time on his hands will make it happen, it's just too much fun to not be implemented at all. |

I understand that they want to centralise network play to give them the kind of control that they have in WOW, but it feels like there will some trumped up reason why the need the features of battlenet even in LAN (achievements or some such rubbish). Clearly cracks will come out to allow non battlenet play and the sad things are that this leaves pirates with a more flexible product than purchasers.
After waiting with bated breath for this game for over a year, several issues worry me to the point that I'm no longer a certain pre-release purchase, in fact I will wait on word of mouth after release. Perhaps if there hadn't been such a long time for me to consider the negatives I'd pile in, but after all we are not the critical purchasers, they want a big boad hit of people more casually (if at all) associated with the game (imho) |

The amount of whine in this thread is amazing. Games have been known to change completely during beta, so moving a building around on the tech tree or boosting a unit's stats is going to happen A LOT of times.
Knowing blizzard, they aren't afraid to even start from scratch, like the 1.10 D2 patch, that introduced synergies and made a lot more classes viable. |

Dont worry with that. 90% of the critics are unjustified. |
