you need to go to a lan party bro. even if its just 2 ppl. and can you imagine TSL without lan latency or with massive lag? just look at how much the Stars Wars lagged, and they were in the same building.

I blame piracy on the overpricing of video games. that leads me to blame this situation on Kotick

And how do you figure? if there's LAN that only blizzard is allowed to use for official blizzard tournaments how the hell does that help the actual playerbase who have wanted LAN features to play with friends or at local LAN parties? this won't put an end to anything, other than showing that Blizzard did take the time to code LAN for sc2, but they don't trust the playerbase with it.

But remember "The technology just isn't there yet".... OH WAIT! lol can't wait for the piracy to kick in once this gets out, its just a waiting game now. :D

Just make LAN native to all editions, so there will be less piracy.

It won't matter if you can only use the pro edition with a special account and password provided to tourney hosts.

Because LAN is dead in the same way splitscreen on consoles is dead. Its rarely used compared to the online alternative, EXCEPT in tournament structures.


This fixes the tournament thing.

Here is blizzards choices


Allow LAN. All of China pirates the game, just like SC/BW

Don't allow LAN except for tourneys. A couple thousand people people "boycott" the game, but they still get sales from China.


Boy, tough decision

Yeah, LAN is a necessity for tournaments. It's nice to have in general--especially if BNet2.0 continues to be as flaky as it was in the beta--but it's not really a necessity. And piracy is of course a big issue for Blizzard, so I can understand them not including it, even if it hurts the legitimate buyer's experience a bit.

finally, a little ray of sunshine that i'll be able to play sc2 at my local lan.

so sick of all the new games coming out only to find you can't play them on LAN without some form of connection to the internet.

CMON CHINA. take one for the time, hack away.

yes. IF all this is true then they implemented something like this.

anyway... to everyone who's supporting the idea of getting a cracked version of this:

How does LAN automatically mean Piracy. Single player and Galaxe Editor will be functional in offline mode, - still a good enough reason to download the game. LAN doesn't mean dozens if not hundreds of pirated servers which is what happened with SCBW after PvPGN leaked everywhere.

If they make the encryption right, then it would be nearly impossible. see skype.
