People on these forums are very quick to bring up unrelated complains as soon as they see a window for some Blizzard whine. People will never stop bringing up LAN, because they will never get it. Its like asking Blizzard to light their own money on fire. Sounds like Blizzard needs to do some PR work here. If their ladder system breaks to the point where HUK simply cannot play any more, its a problem. They can't expect him to sit around and with for NA and EU to catch up with him. | ||

Just because it is 'there' game, does not mean they should have the right to do whatever. You agreed to certain terms when you installed game. That means you are obligated to use their product under their rules. Still.. i think it's silly move by Blizzard, I would like job watching starcraft whole day and calling random people and informing them of their actions lol :D | ||

NA, SEA, KR, EU, China, Russia etc etc. Will wait for the apology to be posted by blizz. ...What? Apologize? Ugh I know! I want every expansion of SC2 free, and I want them to pay for my internet too. Hell, I want Blizzard to personally upgrade my internet so that I can play on the fastest settings that SC2 allows. How dare they not allow me free reign over all the SC2 possibilities and force *me* to actually sink extra money into this game that they clearly created to be given out for free? What are they running, a business? Seriously, Blizzard. Free mice for life, free keyboards for life, free monitors and up-to-date operating systems for life. And a whole bunch of other computer terminology that I don't even know... for life! Now. Because most of all, I want to play (with terrible latency) against people halfway around the world and don't want to pay a penny for it. And I would like a formal apology from both Dustin Browder and Nova until exactly this happens. Clearly, Blizzard thinks that they should be making money instead of providing free services, despite the fact that battle.net is free. So I'm going to ignore the fact that I can go on SC2 whenever I want and play the game for free, and instead rant about how I want to play with every single human on Earth (and on Tarsonis) and have infinite accounts, so Blizzard better get moving to fix my personal problem! | ||

Blizzard just doesn't like account sharing being so openly on stream, not to mention that they don't want the ladder fucked up by account sharing (when they base tournament invites off the ladder). TLO isn't playing at the moment and therefore his GM spot should just go to someone else. I believe it would have been better if Blizzard just requested HuK to not play on TLO's account instead of just waving their banhammer in front of HuK's face. I really don't think they care about account sharing for tournaments, they just don't want it on ladder, like HuK was doing. | ||

It's all about control, 'lost sales' of individual copies is not a factor. You clearly didn't the thread I mentioned. Money is the main reason to not add LAN. Why would they remove a feature that has been out there for so long? Because the majority of the people that plays DotA casually play on Garena or any pirated server. Account sharing also takes their sales down. If you let pro-gamers share their account on a stream, but ban random players that share their accounts between friends, it's gonna be much worse. Well account sharing is probably as close to a non issue you can get from Blizzards point of view but bad PR is bad PR. But not like it will get tons of publicity or be extremely bad PR anyway unless they actually terminates TLO's account or something. Like I wrote in the other post, if the rumors are true it's probably just a somewhat bad community manager and not some "Blizzard headquarters community relationships team" thing. Just as I mentioned above, I don't think it's bad PR. They have to warm whoever breaks the ToS, so they can ask everyone to follow it, or else we can share our accounts and say that Blizz lets pro-players share their accounts but ban us for doing the same. | ||

Was that his intent? o.o Wish HuK would comment on this so we could hear the actual story. | ||

Really? You cannot be serious? I hope there is a apology made by Blizzard, its completely unfair for TLO and HuK. We know all their services are free, but we still have to pay the $60 to play it, and im sure HuK has payed for at least 3 copies of starcraft Please think before you go nuts. | ||

It is true that customers have a say in it, but rules are rules, when you buy the game, you agree to use it in line with the Terms of Use. It feels really silly and small to me aswell to really go ahead and warn the progamers about it, but if it has to be done, it has to be done. Hating Blizzard for it is sillier than their approach about account sharing. | ||

You can make recommendations and surely post complaints and questions and comments, but they don't have to listen to you. That being said, if they lose enough people because their product isn't appealing to enough people, they'll fix things. | ||
