DustyBallsder and GayCanessa ? that would be most worthy. | ||

I can understand why Blizzard is taking BNET 2.0 in the direction it is going right now. The distintegration of chat channels and the recent collaboration with Facebook suggests to me that Blizzard aims to leverage Facebook's massive social networking capabilities into its own customer pool. If FB-BNET takes off, we will be seeing BNET posts/advertisements everywhere on FB. This exposure equals more customers which results in more potential customer revenue. I think what's happening here is fundamentally: greed/commercialism > essence of what makes RTS such as SC great. This is not only true for BNET 2.0 as we see it now but also the overall game mechanics of SC2. This is unfortunate. :'( | ||

You buy halo 3 for 60$ you play a lot and you like it.You also pay 60$ a year for Xlive subscription. Well then ODST comes out 2 years later for 60$ and it's campaign is trash and the multiplayer for it is halo3's multiplayer. ( If you have odst and I have halo3 we will be playing in the same matches/matchmaking!) But wait here's the fun part. ODST comes with 3 new halo3 mutliplayer maps. No biggie right? WRONG, then Xlive puts these maps into the matchmaking map pool. Without the new maps you can't play in that gametype's matchmaking anymore. So if you still have halo3 you can no longer enjoy playing in the same gametypes you have been playing for 2 years unless you fork over 60$ for odst or 10$ to download the maps. MARK MY WORDS: This will be bnet2.0's future legacy. "Nickel and Diming" Imagine you buy Sc2, after a year a bazillion awesome user created maps have come out. Then blizzard decides to put 20 of them into the official map pool and charge you to buy the mapacks. If you don't want to fine but you can't play matchmaking without them so have fun playing customs only. This is what Cannessa did with Xbox live and this is why he was hired at Blizzard. To make money. If you didn't deal with all the horrible BS I've experienced on Xlive for the last decade you have no idea what your in for. Seriously, the fact that Cannessa is in charge of Bnet2.0 is enough for me to abandon it! I'm not some console gamer guy who just started playing SC. I played pole position, dig dug, Dune, Civilization (the original), masters of orion, Warcraft, warcraft 2, diablo 1 + 2, on pc before some of people playing SC2 were born. Blizzard has been my favorite gaming company for a long time, a last bastion of gaming experience pureness. Those days are over my friends and it is making me RAGE! | ||

Because if so, that means Blizzard could have already been selling our personal information away for almost 6 years already....yet I haven't heard of any similar complaints. Edit: Yup, it's in there. C. Blizzard may, with or without notice to you, disclose your Internet Protocol (IP) address(es), personal information, Chat logs, and other information about you and your activities: (a) in response to a request by law enforcement, a court order or other legal process; or (b) if Blizzard believes that doing so may protect your safety or the safety of others. D. BLIZZARD MAY MONITOR, RECORD, REVIEW, MODIFY AND/OR DISCLOSE YOUR CHAT SESSIONS, WHETHER VOICE OR TEXT, WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, AND YOU HEREBY CONSENT TO SUCH MONITORING, RECORDING, REVIEW, MODIFICATION AND/OR DISCLOSURE. Additionally, you acknowledge that Blizzard is under no obligation to monitor Chat, and you engage in Chat at your own risk. Note the phrasing is slightly different as it gives a reason for disclosing personal information; makes me wonder if this was an oversight on Blizzard's part of the SC2 ToU. | ||

Is this foreshadowing of some sort of integrated dota? It doesn't say "Custom" next to it like the ones at the bottom... | ||
