I didn't get any email but I was in beta and bought retail. I made a new bnet account for sc2 to keep my games separate though. I wonder if only people that used the same account for sc2 beta and sc2 retail got the offer? | ||

We had CoH, DoW II, Civ IV (V shortly after SC2's release), and I guess Supreme Commander for the five people that played it. If you looked at how many people were actually playing those games online, I think the Brood War public servers still had them beat. CoH only had an active community of about 3-4k players. Not sure about DoW II's following, but its a ripple compared to what SC2 has brought into the RTS scene. Also, the TL community is actually rather small compared to other gaming communities (CS-nation, for one, or Shacknews when it was initially an FPS / Quake community). So its not as if TL is keeping the RTS genre afloat on its rather robust shoulders. You can think that, but it really isn't. If there is a general disinterest in RTS games, it would fall off the planet except in a few hovels (shiny and pretty as it is) such as this one. Also, you're displaying symptoms of the privileged gamer. They gave you free shit. Why on earth would you complain about that? It's not like they needed to give you anything, and on top of that you want them to just give you Cataclysm because you don't feel that their free shit was enough for you? Wow man. Just wow. (no pun intended) | ||

Fucking ridiculous since the thing is 10 GB, I can't even download it until March because I have a capped internet. Who the hell thought having your trial timer count down before you even have the game was a good idea? The game client can easily be downloaded via other sources than Blizzard's "official" download on the account page. Just google a bit and you'll find something. If your internet is capped in a way that makes you worry about 10 GB you shouldn't really bother with the game, though. After the initial download you'll have to fetch another couple of GB just for patches and stuff, and you'll end with 15 or 16 GB total. | ||

Actually downloading it isn't a problem, I could get it from school and burn it to some discs or something. Its the utter stupidity of Blizzard that makes me just not give a crap about it. | ||

Including giving you a free game. Can't you guys ever be grateful for once? Seriously. I'm getting so tired of the mindless Blizzard bashing bandwagon. | ||
