Hooray, we have facebook integration, achievements and multiple divisions, now every one can be number one! Who cares about LAN, chat rooms and cross servers when you have that?

Blizzard. Sure there will be a lot of players buying it initially, but if the game get really bad ratings that limits the influx of new players that don't have much attachment to SC1 and therefore are much more influential to reviews and ratings.

The ratings matter a huge amount to the large number of on the fence buyers.

So we have to buy the game to rate it? I'd rather just not buy the game.

Bnet 2.0 is like a hack Hollywood movie, during the pre-planning stage they probably had all these bars and graphs in their presentations with experts claiming what has worked and what will work and saying in order to get the biggest market share you got to do this and this....

This is a proven method. As stated before this approach got EA to change Spore's DRM with only 700 bad reviews. Imagine what we could do with 1000. Lowering the rating hurts the bottom line. And trust me companies care about that bottom line.


So register in that poll people. Would you be willing to push a button to show blizzard your dissatisfaction?

There is one promise that has not been broken, and when they do break it SC2 will be pay-to-play and I will laugh maniacally.

We dont need to do anything illegal. Rating a game is not (to my knowledge) illegal. But it would be something Blizzard would care about especially once it started generating bad press.

i completely agree, i was talking about alphaes saying "Isn't there some more active way to show our dislike of the direction Blizzard is taking the game?" sounded like a suggestion to me but maybe it was just an innocent question and i took it the wrong way

Ive canceled my pre-order. I will only purchase the game if they dont publish my private info and provide chat channels. In this day and age the gamer base pays for useful access that a legit copy of the game provides. Considering I would likely have to run on an illegal client to do any of the things I want then I will just wait to pay blizzard any money.

Bnet2.0 is the largest step backwards that I have seen any company of this size make. Im sure they will fix it rapidly when they realize what a failed cluster fuck it is upon release but I for one vote with my dollar.

I emailed them explaining the missing features, the invasive policies (I have to opt out to NOT have my shit shared?!) and the complete lack of e-sports support by forcing people to buy multiple copies just to play their friends in different areas.

When they correct that stuff I will immediately go grab a copy, until they do they wont get my money.

This interview is just so....different. I don't know whether the interviewer or the interviewee is to blame but it seems that theres is just a tension through-out the interview. Usually developers are so proud of their product but in this case being the VP of product and development he seems very callous to the problems that most everyone has expressed about bnet 2.0. The interviewer really hit all the major details, cross realm play, IP talks, the lack of clan comparability (with the possibility of it not being implemented until the first expansion?!), simple chat function. The interviewer did a great job asking the hard questions but the logs seem very very tense, even to read. I think SC2 will be a great success, but the irony of it all is that Bnet 2.0 seems to be resting on the fence between success and failure, only time will tell.

No, you don't. I've reviewed products on Amazon that I bought elsewhere before.

Lol. Just hasn't gotten old yet.

Seriously though.. their argument against chat rooms is that they're used for spamming and such, right? But if you can only have one account per CD-key wouldn't reporting such spammers minimize spamming? =/

I don't see any logical reason to leave chat rooms out at release.
