Allowing cross realm play and thus making it possible for there to be an e-sports scene big enough everywhere in the world, comparable to Korea would be far far more profitable in the long run. Sure you'd get a few serious players buying the game multiple times and that will net you some dollars, but wouldn't you rather have it be something like StarCraft 1? A game played on tv after 12 years after release?

RTS games don't work like MMORPG games, RTS games are all about competition and while WoW can be enjoyed by playing with the same guys all the time embarking on different quests it just does not work like that in SC2.

What would other sports like football be if everyone just played inside their own country and there wouldn't be a way to host international tournaments?

Blizzard: But but but...really? Don't forget that with that more money earned we can put our teams to create more brilliant achievements for you! You know you want them!

Man, they're already making us buy 3 versions of the game. AND they want us to purchase multiple copies of EACH version just so we can play with people in different regions? GO DIAF BLIZZARD

Like i said in the other thread, Blizzard's attitude right now is "We know whats good for you, suck it up and stop complaining".

Its so frustrating

But do you we REALLY want cross-realm play?

If I could figure out how the fuck to log in to forums.battle.net, I would write out a detailed post breaking down that interview Frank gave and explain why it's necessary, with specific mention of the OP. Tournaments at the moment are such a clusterfuck. Like I said, I would post, but every CD-key I type in to log-in doesn't work; even their forum system is shit, big surprise.

I don't believe Blizzard will give a crap about community opinion, because you all (and me as well) will buy the game anyway, even if you complain, so why waste resources? It's all about the money lately..

That is true, but it will make them look really bad when all the competitive players leave bnet2.0 so they can play on a private server.

They are owned by activision, hard to see any other reason for it than it being about money.

I will research ShitStorm and chrono boost it.

If you don't want to have all the Ladders mixed between realms that's fine- but to not even have the option to play cross realm is ridiculous.

Blizzards continued stubbornness on topics like LAN, cross realm, chat rooms, clans, and Facebook/Friends list is really disappointing. They are making the game for a whole new imagined community (ie those that never really played BroodWar) because they won't know the difference. They aren't listening to the people who they should be. At some level, I think a lot of people at Blizzard probably know who they should be listening too- but they have bosses who don't feel the same way.

Its just their way to tax players that want this "feature".. Its surely not an oversight cause its actually important software design decision that they discussed and agreed on..
They are prepared to kill Korean leagues so they can have complete control.. What is stopping them from milking money for international play?

Well yes, that is exactly what it is about. They clearly stated that imo. He says in order to play in multiple regions you have to buy multiple versions of their product. That is clearly a money grab. That cant possibly be anything but a money grab. No other explanation makes any sense.
