But the thing is to get it as it is now you will have to pay for three copies of the game... And honestly if beta cost money I would not buy it based on current content.
well i alrdy did something to get it free... but i know all of my friends aren't buying it until chat rooms are in it, and i prob will not play it until they incorporate them.

Cancelled the preorder, and even if they fix these issues my eyes have been opened to how they think - I doubt the situation will go anywhere but downhill even if they add chat channels and cross-continental competition now.
Advocating piracy for any reason at all, no matter how righteous it may be perceived as, is something that I don't think I'll ever be able to do in good conscience. Blizzard is simply looking to profit the most on its ventures; piracy may seem like the "correct" thing to do, but all it really does it take away from the hard work that teams of developers and coders have put into releasing a game. If anything, boycott the product instead or try to dissuade others from purchasing it, but pirating software simply cheapens the entire experience.

You're not cool. you've never been cool. Stop trying to be cool.
I'll buy it, because regardless I enjoy the gameplay a lot, and am looking forward to UMS.
On a side note, I'll continue.
Why should game companies care about your opinions if you plan on pirating their game? You'd pirate it no matter what, It's like someone coming into your restaurant and dine and dashing, and then telling you how to improve your cooking for the next time they want to steal from you.
I think the point was, many people are only buying it because of single player, which will be pirate-able (presumably?) because they are screwing up the multiplayer aspect of it, which is the only reason people don't pirate it anyway. Please, please don't pretend otherwise and claim that you'd buy it out of honour or rewarding them for a good game or whatever, especially after you pidgeonholed everyone who mentions piracy as a worthless thief.
I am sure 99% people who voted NO will buy it. Also BN 2.0 is pretty good, now at least I spend all of my time playing instead of searching for game, party and new friends are cool too. But that is from casual point of view, improvements for, face it, less needed features will come in time.
At its current state, I can seriously wait till it's like 19.99 or 9.99.
Ive waited a long time too, but beta actually helped me change my mind. "I needz it NAO" feeling is gone and by that time game will be patched up anyway, so its win win for me.

Definitely. There's no rush to get it immediately. The cost will likely go down, and the content can only improve from where it is now.
looks like we have a lot of liars, even though everyone's complaining about everything (there are definitely valid complaints to be made), the majority of people are still going to buy the game.
And NIJ is going to be waiting a while, I don't even think the original battlechest is down to 19.99.

Yes, I am honestly saying I would not. I don't have a shit-ton of money to spend on gaming, so when I make a gaming choice it's going to be one that will last for a good period of time. As it stands, I see myself getting bored with sc2 very fast (The beta already has me a bit bored) and so, for me, it just isn't worth it.

That's what youtube and wikipedia and spoiler threads are for. That's what I did with Deus Ex 2. I never did play that one, despite Deus Ex 1 being my favorite singleplayer game ever.
what? that is a terrible idea. I want to play the story, not watch someone else play it.
meh, if i can get to play the campaign without buying it i'm probably not gonna buy it - i don't like the game itself but people are being way too bitchy about bnet 2.0. the game is what matters the most and it seems like people are forgetting that. yeah it could obviously be better but not playing a game you like just because it doesn't have chat channels n stuff sounds so fucking damn stupid
I won't buy it when it first comes out unless there's a large overhaul of BNet 2.0. I'll just wait a few months and hopefully it will have improved. Waiting a few months also has the benefit of seeing the beginnings of how awesome UMS will be, though that also depends if B.Net 2.0 will still be a crap shack for customs.

Of course, because it's on battle.net 1.0 Also the competitive scene has kept it alive and in demand even now.

I'll buy it, as long as they meet my terms for patch 14:
Frenzy can now be applied to enemy units to make them think they're zerglings. They begin to claw at their allied units and buildings with their hands in a praying mantis fashion (like a zergling) for 2 damage for a 30 second time period.
Ultralisks now only have 1 tusk that inflicts 20 damage on themselvesfor every 5 damage they inflict on any target.
Scvs can use the Force - Reasearched at Jedi Academy for 25/50
Overlords can now morph into infested Chuck Norris. Requires 9001/9001 and a Greater Spire
Siege tanks can now move while sieged. They can now also attack air.
Does SC2 have issues that need to be addressed? Yes. Will Blizzard address them? Probably. Do i have fun playing SC2? Yes.
People who won't buy it, won't buy it; unlike them, I'll be enjoying a well made game, because past all the Bnet2.0 complaints, SC2 is still a very good game. And with the single player mode and as more and better custom maps come out, I'm sure that i will enjoy playing SC2 even more.

casuals come and casuals go. This is a site about people who still played/watched BW a decade after it came out. Those less needed features matter to a group that might otherwise still be around after most of the casuals are gone. But by all means, vote yes
And yeah, I wish people would vote honestly (I did: no). It's going to end up like this:
EPT
Also the competitive scene has kept it alive and in demand even now.
