hi, i'm the baskerville of old ; thank you for your time spent reading this
i just wanted to ask people on this platform

why are people so gloom ?

why ? when i ask if/when blizzard will license sc2 to allow crazy people like me to finally organize LANs ..
why does everyone answer :

"you dumb, they will never do it!"
"sorry but it will never happen"
etc

WHY?

People will go so far as to patronize you if you ask that question!

They are 10 20 30 40 50 years old and yeah yeah they feel like they know what they are talking about!

Well i'm 50 and i answer :
"well to be sure, with that attitude, it will take longer for it to happen"

Blizzard stopped developing Sc2 and only have people mantaining the servers. Any change orlicensing or anything is very unlikely.

There are two differents problem, once licence is free, community can work on via kickstarter for example. Then ask to blizzard staff, streamer, etc, why let SC2 die.

Community cannot work on something that's not available.
Distribution of LAN-version of SC2 to everyone who wants it will not happen with 99% probability.

This cannot happen without quite a bit of effort from Blizzard side, and there's no one left in Blizzard who would be interested in this.

Believing we won't get LAN doesn't make one a pessimist, for much the same reason that believing the sun will rise again does not make one an optimist.

hi claus hi zero hi vision hi fantom
thank you for your interest in this thread

i disagree, humans are worth more than you feel/write

also if i may and this with no intention to hurt you,
you are shortchanging your future
just to be edgy without having thought it through

sorry i got a heavy duty monday can't stay to argue though, be back this evening <3

If you don't care about objective reality, I shouldn't have bothered to write anything here then. I'm sorry.

Hound come visit blizzard and talk with the people yourself. They will be able to explain better than us.

I say come visit blizzard because I live quite near the offices myself- I do not work for blizzard.

Seriously if you need lodging just bring a sleeping bag and ear plugs. I could put you up in the newly vacant other room of my apartment. At least, until the lease is up in late July. I'm outta here after that.

Ok ?

.. no one else interested in this issue ?

2K on tl nicu i guess ..

Ok i been here since warcraft 1 shareware.. expecting stirgrate blur soon..
I am now old and i'm telling you gently respectfully that no I am not "crazy"

.. you are ! lost is more like it anyway

Without any knowledge you do "act poorly" no ?

You say blizzard can't get more money ? NO you did not even think that !
blizzard could not get money out of licensing "legit" non profit lans worldwide ?

Ok here is where/when I don't get it .. again sorry I remind you that was the THREAD subject !?

YOU KNOW NOTHING, I KNOW NOTHING .. and yet you think "it will never happen"
and I think "the corona happened" "moon landing happened dude"
"anything can happen"

So my question reiterated i push through should I not ?

Can I answer my own question ?
No I can't because again .. I asked YOU team liquid !
(insert illegal twit ch emote representing bobross)

sc2 is a dead horse, someone 's bound to shoot it in the head and
then? (that's a given)

Then someone will clone/steal it and license it ..
we will have sc forever dudes just like we have chess forever !
and yes the sc2 engine is the crispiest of crispiest eyes/hands to game ever (that's a given too)
it will therefore not be allowed to die, WE will not allow that !

It will survive and yes it will be licensed until corporations such as blizzard will lose their "unholy" proprietary rights set at the purchase of their products !

You 20/40 year olds are weird,
you got all the toys and yes you know too much, have too much .. you keep getting new toys and wanting to forget the old ones as quick as you can like you know they will haunt you forever and are ashamed of the fact you did abandon your dreams on the way ..
and my question remains the same : why ?

Why so gloom ?


addendum :
I recently noticed that no one agrees with me ever when i state things .. funny thing heh?

So recently I grew up and understood that it is simply because I am different and I flee at the thought of certain responsibilities,
(responsibilities and not chores mind you !)
responsibilities that i embrace here and now (come and get me!) !

Yeah I am a coward, always have been I guess..
scared to say what is right and get barfed on .. scared because I thought I was dim witted while no.. I was just a nemo, a leader.

I will never try to convince people of anything but the truth

in 2024 in 2034 who cares ..
i will get my lan

and you will love me for it because you will have yours my beloved dudes !
(first degree, if you play rts you my dude, my brosky, my mate !)

Peace and prosperity to all

ps: # plexa forever <3

"objective reality" ?
sounds like you need a hug my dude?

I ask you how and why you feel so gloom and not if sc2 is gonna be on lan in your mind, sorry i know you do not think the way I do

You can see no way, you a game licensing expert and have seen frogger die ?
sorry i am being facetious...

Ok one more time into the breach dear ZeroByte13 I go :

YOU will get me my/your lan, you and the 50 k peeps and dudettes that will love sc2 being ALIVE free and well run !

You will pay a 20 every month dude..
blizz will no longer exist
you will be hating me for zealot special tactics rushing you and I will lose because my eyes will cry before I kill all your scvs

fun fun fun
is a lot of hard work.. so start as soon as possible please pretty please on our knees (yes please in the church of esports one must kneel, me like you !) <3
