The funny thing is, how Mike Morhaime said that e-sport is going to be popular not only in Korea, but worldwide, 'meaning' that they would be trying to expand the e-sport scene in West.

Yonhap: What's Blizzard's vision for E-sports?
MM: Our understanding of E-sports is as a community project that increases the enjoyment of the game for the players. It's going to be popular not only in Korea, but worldwide.

..But this seriously won't help at all.

I just wish they simply got the balls and straight out said "yes, we don't want to allow cross realm play because we want people to buy extra copies of our game" instead of all this pathetic "there's too much lag if you play with people from other continents, so we decided not to even give an option to do it, we know best!" crap..

I bet they don't even get what e-sports means..

This is so lame. I would already have expected gamers to be able to play globally as a given right. *sigh*

Honestly, I don't think this is a money grab. I think the problem is:

1. Blizzard wants all SC2 internet traffic routed through its servers, rather than being peer-to-peer. (correct me if I'm wrong about this, but from the outside it seems to be the case)
2. Cross-realm play is infeasible (too laggy) with this setup.
3. Cross-realm play is a lower priority than routing all traffic through their servers.

I am pretty sure that the actual game data is sent peer-to-peer. I didn't confirm that myself but as far as I know even R1CH says so, so I am tempted to believe that. If all the data was sent through their servers, observers should never lag a game (extremely easy to implement), but this is obviously not the case.

I agree with this post. Normally Blizzard is reasonable when fans start to speak out so I can only hope that they listen. I understand they are worried about ping but it should be the players choice imo.

This is important, Blizzard. Listen up.
