EPTIf I'm still disappointed in Bnet 2.0 by the time the first expansion pack is out, I won't buy the expansion. I wouldn't expect any of the casual players who haven't followed the game for 3 years of delays, or who didn't even play SC1 to buy it either. The difference between 10 years ago and now (or even 5 years ago) is that there are many more companies releasing quality games. Blizzard can no longer dominate the market with brand name or franchise name alone - they have to actually deliver an exceptional game.
Will you buy SC2 or pretend you won't but then buy it anyw…

They will fix the problems with battle.net and they will continue to make SC2 great in the future. But hey, go ahead and boycutt it, chances are high that we won't miss you scrubs.  | ||

Now that doesnt mean theres no hope to send the message across to blizzard. I have friends that are not too into games but they still might buy the occasional big name games. These type of people will judge whether to buy SC2 or not based solely on the assessment of it by their gamer friends. Would i recommend SC2 to my friends that arent automatically gonna buy a blizzard product? Maybe, if their into RTS games. However probably not because a game with such a hardcore learning curve will need everything to be in sync to make it an enjoyable experience for a casual player. Dumb things such as no chat room and unbearable UMS map selection would make it a hard game to suggest to casual players, | ||

I'm not gonna glue my mouse to the pad now so I can get better by just making it difficult for me. Sure I'm gonna buy the game, but I would love to have that beautiful smooth game like you get when playing qxc's build order tester, or the multitasking trainer. | ||

Im sure that i will have lots of fun with SC2 despite the crappy bnet, so i will buy the game. Wc3 = Proof. They completely stopped caring about Wc3 the minute SC2 was announced. | ||

However, none of these are surprising or are anything new to me. I played WoW for years until latest expansions and personally experienced the way blizzard handles things and their policies toward WoW playerbase. They never listen to the community, unless it is a suggestion that can generate them more money. Of all the suggestions and proposed balance changes players posted on forums, only suggestions they accepted were things like paid name change service, paid character server transfer, in game mounts that cost $20, etc. I This is absolutely untrue. I dont care what you say. There have been numerous suggestions made on the forums that HAVE been implemented into the game. That is a very broad, painfully wrong, statement... | ||

I think Starcraft 2 (the game itself) is fantastic and shows how much hard work and care was put into the development. But I also think that Battlenet 2.0 (the platform) is a train wreck. So many little concerning things (my email is available to people that I play against..., no possibility of LAN play, no playing with Euro/Asian friends [I'm in Canada], Facebook integration) add up to one big concern. In order to protest this, I'm going to buy the game a month or so after it comes out. I love SC2 (the game) but I feel like Bnet 2 (the platform) is a step backward and a slap in the face. I'm one of those guys that was like Day[9] for the longest time in that I trusted Blizzard would make the right calls when it mattered. But Battlenet 2.0 (the experience) has put me off a lot. I can easily wait a month (or longer) to see whether some of these things get sorted out. I have a very busy life (wife, dog, job) and don't feel the need to play 400 games per week from day 1 to be satisfied with my level of play. I derive lots of entertainment just by watching commentary and thinking deeply about the game. ------- I think people canceling their pre-orders have already made a difference (visual impact and dollar signs disappearing). There's no need to attack people who feel they should protest the game in some way. If you want to buy the game, buy the game. But if you feel like Blizzard is taking the wrong direction with Bnet 2.0, then there are many ways to express yourself. You don't have to swear off SC2 for ever. That will serve no purpose. You can just delay buying the game by a week or whatever. If you wanna get the game the first day it comes out, just express yourself intelligently on forums. | ||

come on... I really don't believe someone who liked sc2 will not buy this game... I will vote 5 stars for SC2 every where. not only because I really liked the game, but I want the more hype possible for it, so we can have a lot of tournaments and stuff | ||
