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.. | ||

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. Back in progress? One doesn't exclude the other you ignorant fool. | ||

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. | ||

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?

Blizzards actually a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard. PM Profile Quote # 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: The people making 120$ a month didnt really play Starcraft either. Really, if they want to ensure this doesn't get pirated, they just tag every Processional edition with a unique serial. Anyone leaks it is going to have to face a swarm of lawyers and even law enforcement. | ||

Yup.LAN/Bnet getting cracked is as certain as Amen in church all blizzard games never make it on torrents other than singleplayer because of CDkeys anyways What? Every Blizzard multiplayer game is hacked. There are private Bnet for war3, diablo, WoW whatever you want... and they are all availible on torrent sites. | ||

if people get better features or a more carefree experience pirating. they will. blizzard's best bet is to just include all these features. besides. people follow the pros. if all the pros are contracted to only play on battle.net or licensed lan servers. everyone else would play there too. | ||

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. source on that would be nice. | ||

I'm just carrying over the conversation going on in the thread associated with the thing the OP linked. Also I think Blizzard has made it very clear they aren't including LAN functionality at all in Starcraft 2. | ||

Dedicated servers for the individual tournaments are like LAN, but not. This way they can shut down the servers after the tournament's are over. The source in the OP even talks about dedicated servers like WoW so I'm not sure why people all of a sudden ruled that out for some LAN they think they can pirate. | ||

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. Nice description of Utopia... that being smelly nerds competing furiously for the position of Alpha Nerd. Thanks you for the post. | ||

I wonder what's the point then? No really, I know it will be pirated, you know it will be pirated, everyone knows it will be pirated, since everyone knows why the heck not include LAN in the retail version? | ||
