I mean are they going to sell that info to advertisers or something? Am I going to be harrassed by tons of advertisements on the internet? Also, why do we have to send an email? Isn't it kind of obvious that I'd rather not have them distributed? I don't get the question regarding that, could someone explain it to me please? Should I be worried? Is Blizzard turning evil? Joining up with the already evil FAcebook? Explain please :p | ||

Loads of people within the community are wanting Looking For Group chat rooms, and that sort of thing. Well, if we've done our job right in terms of the matchmaking service, then hopefully they won't feel like they'll need it for that service. Of course he might just have misunderstood the purpose of chat rooms all together, he sees them more as a ways of meeting up with players of similar skill(a very crude example is a chat room only for people in diamond league, for people who just play terran and so on) when that's not really the case. If you have a really bad internet connection, but you have a couple of friends there... That functionality's not there. Our goal is to make sure that connectivity to the Battle.net servers is such that that's the experience that people want. So basically if youre not on bnet you dont really wanna play sc2, is that really his stance on this. I realise this might just be the best possible answer to the question since they dont want the possibility to play the game offline for purpose of fighting piracy. Still just seems so ignorant. A better answer would be like: "Well we just havent found a way to do that without incurring the risk of making it easier to pirate the game." or something along those lines. Something that seems thought out and actually like they considered it not just "hurtedurr youre not online so you really dont wanna play the game otherwise you would have made sure to have some sort of online conn hurrrteduurr derp derp" Oh and this is just the icing on the cake: Plus, isn't StarCraft 2 the universal language of RTSes? How much English do you need to speak to communicate with your opponent and kick his ass? [Laughs] Oh I dont know maybe enough understanding of english to actually be able to communicate with the person should he/she actually be someone you would like to talk to about the build they just used which totally rolled you e.g. All in all though I understand that the current infrastructure regarding the internet between continents isnt perhaps all it needs to be to actually facilitate the kind of speed bnet 2.0 needs(or whatever). But something just seems kind of off about this frank pearce and he seems to hold alot of weight. Here's to hope that he actually doesnt interfer with the development of bnet 2.0 since having him on a project actually doesnt seem like a good idea(I'm totally unaware of what he actually does in the company besides his position as a senoir VP). I dont mean to come of as whiny or dissing frank pearche but reading this interview he just got to me and I see quite alot in his answers that I've heard from others whom might not be the best possible people(not bad just not that great). My two cents. | ||

Obviously, they see most Starcraft BW fans will buy the game even if it remains in its current state, so why bother improving it? Vote with your wallet, people! I won't buy the game until they fix some of these problems (if they ever do). | ||

let's hope the game gets how it's supposed to be in a year or two, then I might as well wait for the battle chest edition rather than buying the alpha version that comes out in two month. | ||

Yeah I usually defend Blizzard, this interview was terrible and I still cannot grasp the fact the dialogue was absolutely written as if it was done over text messages. | ||

Another thing I thought you'd promised was chat rooms within Battle.net... Nope. No plans for specific chat rooms at this time. You'll be able to open up chats direct with your friends, and when we add clans and groups there'll be chats for your clans and groups, but no specific plans for chat rooms right now. Do you really want chat rooms? Loads of people within the community are wanting Looking For Group chat rooms, and that sort of thing. Well, if we've done our job right in terms of the matchmaking service, then hopefully they won't feel like they'll need it for that service. This guy need to be fired seriously, how can he be THIS dumb. | ||
