It should be pointed out that wanting to make more money isn't inherently bad, it's only bad that in the process they are hurting the quality of the game.

browder is an ass
without LAN , SC1 would not have taken off in korea
how can net cafes support SC2? do they need a seperate license for each copy of the game on every computer?
Once again back is the incredible!

Slashdot did ask the tough questions, which is nice. Too bad they didn't get very good answers.

Agreed.

Hopefully a Steam-style offline mode is implemented. It is the only saving grace of this blinded by greed decision making. Because I don't think there is a single rationalization possible or defense as to how this enhances the user experience.

They'll continue to try. I'm hoping the SC strength and wisdom of Korea can enforce some legitimacy out of this, and we'll get something akin to LAN without being online all the time.

After all these Kespa fiascos, I don't have much faith in the "wisdom" of Korean SC right now.

Yeah, I suppose so.

Still, it is an industry - I don't think, even if KESPA is ridiculous that Blizzard will entirely ignore the sport that has developed. It's obvious they need LAN in order to play it as they have, or a LAN workaround.

Though, it will be interesting how KESPA Blizzard dynamics play out for the next generation.

Hmmm I found an image that ilustrates how I think it will work.
