Can blizz actually ban people for using the cracked version? I thought LAN means you can play without having to connect/login to blizzard servers so how can they even ban you? | ||

Do you think that LAN can't be made in 2011? You joking me? There was LAN in broodwar, but there is no lan in SC2. It's ONLY because of piracy. ( Other servers than just one - Blizzard's) It's like that so servers like ICCUP won't get created. And we have to play in Blizzard's little bubble. Doesn't matter if u like it or not. | ||

Keeping the players locked into their own servers has a lot of benefits for both the players and for Blizzard... it's just that Bnet 2.0 sucks right now. | ||

Since you are making YOUR OWN server. There is no problems with new client versions or what ever. Since you can do with it what ever u want. ( Maybe i understood something wrong ) | ||

And once it ran rampant over there, there are very little companies can do to prevent it. They will have to provide their own LAN mode if not everyone will just play the cracked version. | ||

Is it unfortunate that people can't smurf? Yes, but tell me how many non-pros require the ability to smurf? Not many. They did this b/c they want to make money b/c how many times have you been talking with your friend and they tell you that they are going to get a new game they just have to wait for the torrent file to finish downloading. You know how much money the developer gets from your friend? $0. You know how much money Blizzard wants to get to make a living off of making video games? Not $0. | ||

I really doubt that ICCUP would risk going into lawsuit against Blizzard if they use the "cracked" version, which is obviously illegal, to create ICCUP ladder for SC2. And if Blizzard is willing to sue OGN and MBC for IP rights, which is more debatable than using cracked version, I can really see Blizzard taking harsh reaction against those private ladders. | ||

China is one of the biggest nation for RTS fans and still no server... Unless I'm missing something, Blizzard cannot release any game in China if Chinese government says no. They only recently got the permission from the Chinese government to launch the official Chinese version. | ||

That is because it's very complex compared to other countries to get your game approved with the power struggle between ministries in China. Blame Chinese politics on this one. | ||
