It's seriously not even a big deal to include LAN support (it's the norm!), so I cannot see the reasoning here. | ||

LAN parties and shared housing between players aren't that uncommon, where internet access can frequently be spotty and needing to use it for every game could be irksome. It's seriously not even a big deal to include LAN support (it's the norm!), so I cannot see the reasoning here. If everyone in the household is able to connect to Battle.net then they will be able to play with each other at LAN speeds, even if their internet connection is extremely poor. If you disconnect from the internet during the game, you will not disconnect from the game. This is because the information will be sent over LAN and not over the internet. If all users in the household cannot connect to the internet at the same time, then you will need to invest in a cheap $30 router. | ||

Because blizzard can confirm 100% uptime with their new bnet with no discs and no lag? No lan kills real life esports events imo. This has been brought up before, but imagine an OSL on bnet, or a gigantic lan event that now has to include a net connection for everyone if they want to play SC2. EDIT: Kennigit is too fast  | ||
