EPTBattle net 2.0 is brand new, obviously it is going to have some major and a lot of minor flaws.. and everyone says "don't feed the corporate pigs with money" blah blah, obviously most people haven't realized the rather lacking quality of games made over the last few years by all companies.. even a lot of the big name games are rather unbalanced or having flaws in them. Be happy that blizzard has dedicated so much time to at least give you a fairly balanced game.
Will you buy SC2 or pretend you won't but then buy it anyw…

I'd also bet that at least half of them do intend to buy the game. I'm boycotting and I don't have it preordered. I'm not buying until they sort a number of issues out with BNET 2.0, and to all those that say, "you'll buy it anyway." No really, I'm not going to, and its not going to be difficult either, the money I don't spend on Sc2 can be spent on food instead, or a nice new t-shirt. I didn't buy modern warfare 2 because of the dedicated server issue, and I won't be buying Sc2. However, and this is a MASSIVE however, obviously I do intend to buy the game at some point, because the idea of boycotting something you weren't going to buy anyway seems to miss the point. I want SC2 to succeed, but right now it seems immoral to endorse the game by buying, and make no mistake I will be following the progress of the game closely, and as soon as things take a turn for the better (cross-realm, better BNET in general), I will snap up a copy (perhaps by that time at a reduced price - a odd perk of boycotting) of the game, but until then the purse strings remain tightly bound. | ||

Back to SC2, there is a kinda big developer team that has worked on thins game for several years. You know, bad companies don't do that, you can get away with throwing half-ass games onto the market. Activision does not seem to be the nicest mother company, but that surely won't make me not buy the game. The only real issue I see is the lack of chatrooms, and if the communitiy wants them, we will get them in the end. Cross-realm play is only a problem for esports and a fraction of users, and LAN would be nice, but that's not deal-breaking for me either. People complaining about balance issues now are delusional, it will take time, there is no doubt about that. And besides that, there is also a big single-player campaign coming, which is probably worth the money by itself, at least for me. Videos and story-line and stuff, not starting every match with 6 workers, should be fun too. I would buy this game blindly, since Blizzard always delivered. If I am disappointed with this product, I simply won't buy the expansions blindly or any new products of them. That's how I always do it. I am not basing my buying-decision on some internet rants. | ||

That leaves the only reasons left for buying to be single player / UMS play, and if I'm truly concerned about that I'm sure I can check out the single player via friends (and see if the UMS are worth the price of admission). I'll probably consider it again if the game has significantly improved in a year or so. Then again, if the game is going to heavily change yet again a year after that with the next expansion, I don't know. It's cliche to say it, but the post-WoW Blizzard is too greedy for my tastes. | ||

So as long as I know servers exist where a competetive fun community exists, I will stick with BW. Protip: You can play more than one video game at a time. I played SC2 beta, kept casually raiding with friends in WoW, just finished Mass Effect 2, playing Mass Effect 1, just finished first playthrough of Torchlight, am replaying Chrono Trigger on my DS when I travel, and I have Assassin's Creed 2 at home waiting to be started. Don't all golfclap for me at once, I'm just one person and I'm sure there are many more out there that can split attention to more than one game. You need to devote time to SC to get significantly better, but it isn't necessary to skip one game over the other unless you're playing it competitively. | ||

For me, it is esentially a clone of SC1. I was expecting a new race, but instead, I got a rehash of a 12 year old game. Not only that, but to insult me, I need ot buy the campaigns for the races I like? That is unacceptable. Also, Bnet v2. 'Nuff said. Should I even begin to say what I don't like about Bnet? | ||

It´s more that I feel I don´t need it + it´s not worth the money. What do I need SC2 for if BW is the better game? I think it´s just stupid if you want this game and don´t buy it to boycott Blizzard. Even if the hole TL community wouldn´t buy SC2, they wouldn´t even care. cya Blizz gg, no re | ||
