Ya know, its funny you bring up the 1 account per CD thing. When that news first broke it didn't bother me at all because I saw the upside and have never had any problem whatsoever giving my money to Blizzard in the past. I purchased 5 or 6 copies of the SC battlechest over the 12 years SC has been around and was happy to do it. Before there was a bnet account from which you could just install it again once registered, if I wanted to play SC and didn't have it installed, I would just buy a new copy. It didn't bother me one bit that I would be buying 2 copies at least, one for me and one for my g/f.
Now... well now I don't even want to buy 1, nevermind 2.

One of the things most people really liked about original bnet, was how hey COULD random channel it with a couple buddies, and not have to worry about a bunch of knobs pissing them off. Ever been to a LAN party? Kick EFFin A! Who wants a bunch of internet buddies annoying u when ur lanning? Yes, I see what they're trying to do, but why not add a lan option AFTER the game is verified online or something? Make EVERYONE happy. If blizzard wants to make a game where all SC players are connected, make world of SC or some other gay shiz, Having to toss out an Email address for every friend u add is just dumb.
