Why would we pay for another copy just to play with our friends? Its like asking people to subscribe to another phone plan just to call people on another network. | ||

And honestly, if you're a progamer dedicated to playing starcraft2 competitively for years to come, is 200$ be such a huge price to pay for free battle.net service? WOW is far more expensive luxury and it's not even rewarding. | ||

And lag issues? If anything that causes your game to lag, its the non P2P server of battle.net 2.0 that SC2 will be using, unlike SC1 which had this feature. Fancy graphics don't translate to more data to be transferred. | ||

Not having chat channels kinda sucked. Not having LAN was a pretty serious offense (but I understand why they did it). No cross realm play is insane. Blizzard...wake up guys. You. are. better. than. this. | ||

Blizzard is trying too hard to "unify" players through the same interface, but how is that possible when that very interface is what is isolating pockets of competitive players? When designing such an interface, you have to provide as much transparency and open player communication and connectivity as possible. If they really wanted to promote community and Esports, they would have been a bit more careful in making such design decisions. If those are NOT Blizzard's actual intentions for Battle.net 2.0 and are simply their ADVERTISED intentions, we have a problem. And if this is a latency issue, it's unlikely that Blizzard will be unable to resolve it; Chaos Launcher makes that obvious. EDIT: /signed. apparently, Blizzard and Activision are both owned by Vivendi, and nothing's changed in practice. Let's hope this is true. EDIT: It's not true. | ||

With all the technical problems the internet can bring, and the fact that Facebook is repulsive (Facebook?! OH why oh why, how much did they pay you Blizzard?!), they also deny us the opportunity to play other players globally, and to even have rudimentary communication! | ||

Both companies are owned by Vivendi. Blizzard has been owned by Vivendi since the fucking dawn of time. In practice nothing changed when they "merged". | ||

All the clowns on forums.battle.net are already saying, "TL guys are so biased, they have no idea what they are saying!" and other ignorant comments like that. Yeah we are planning a multi site article on it. | ||
