People in China, of which a majority only make 120$ a month, are going to have 2 options if LAN is installed in b.net:

1.Pay a large sum of money to get the game. Money that is in short supply.
2.Use blizzard made LAN to get the game free.

What do you think they will chose?

Is there a better way to get these people to buy SC2? What bliz server only services could they add? Ihmo, LAN parties are dying out and internet is getting better every year. There is no reason to go back in progress.

There is no way the "Professional" edition can support even a modest professional "scene" and not show up on torrent sites almost instantly. Right now this does't make a lot of sense.

Well most likely each version of the professional edition given out to prohouses or tournament organisers will be unique so blizzard can identify where the leak comes from. This will make those that receive the game paranoid to avoid being the one liable for any leak.

Are you serious? What we've gotten for free as an agreed upon feature for all previous blizzard games, will now cost approximately x to the power of monetary greed and 'supply and demand' ideology?

I think I need to embolden this:

ActivisonBlizzard is not Blizzard.

Truly just the idea of ActiBlizz doing this proves where the future of our beloved game is going.. You've heard 'The Boss' say it, they're going to milk us for Every Penny, unless it's fought for..

Just sayin' Just sayin..

Still, it's only a matter of time

all blizzard games never make it on torrents other than singleplayer because of CDkeys anyways

It's not a LAN like you think of LAN. It's a dedicated server. It's like Blizzard WoW TR but for Star 2. That's not up most of the year. So HF downloading a torrent that will still have to go through auth servers and put you on a tournament realm that might not be up for you to connect to.

Excuse me, but why the hell do I have to have an internet connection to play a multiplayer game, why can't my buddies and I just LAN up? I really want to have faith in Blizzard/ActiBlizz, but this is just frustrating and stupid. They are going to destroy a magnificent legacy of small groups of smelly nerds locked away in the dungeons that are their parent's basements, furiously competing with each other for the position of Alpha Nerd. This was my child hood. If they destroy any possibility of this tradition continuing, either through the complete destruction of LAN capabilities in the base consumer package, or the lack of a new suitable replacement, I'm going to boycott this company till the grave.
