Yeah, they probably should change the rule or let you get another account for less than 50 bucks, but honestly, if you're a pro streaming yourself breaking the TOS, you're kind of asking for it. Also, if they were doing custom games, why play on someone else's account... | ||

There's something that's more important than some TOS could ever be, this including official laws that's oppressive, and that's our 'common sense' rights. Freedom rights. We should not simply accept a TOS as a higher law, which it is not. If all companies included a TOS that was oppressive to our common sense rights then we simply couldn't buy anything without selling a bit of ourselves in the process. But we all have needs so we'd do it anyways, naturally. See the picture I'm painting here? There's just some things we as a people should never accept. You're definitely the Martin Luther King of Starcraft users individual rights. Get fired up. We ain't sitting in the back of the fuckin bus sharing accounts god dammit. I won't stand for this shit. | ||

They can basically shut down whole tournaments and end careers on a whim if they feel like it. This how I very much feel. I wish that e-sports communites had the ability and resources to make their own open source game, even if this is totally unrealistic. Starcraft 2 is owned by Blizzard and they can mostly do whatever they want to, even if the whole community disagreed with what they did. It's their house and we're just guests. But that's the best deal there's is, atm. | ||

I think you're under the delusion that you're in the majority when you think that having a player abuse the GM system by playing on another persons ID to keep them from dropping to masters is a 'fair' thing. Maybe among the TL community the vocal majority supports this, but i believe casuals and those who care about the integrity of the ladder are more inclined to side with blizzard on this one. I think suggesting that blizzard would, "shut down whole tournaments" is fear mongering and is completely irrelevant to this situation. It's like you took all the facts and disregarded the ones you don't agree with. It's got nothing to do with simply sharing accounts. It's entirely about their GM system and the upcoming tournament. I'm not sure why that's so difficult to grasp. | ||

Good PR move? Don't know. No one really does. It depends on what they're trying to achieve and that's not public, as far as I know. | ||

WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS! Ohnoes its so big company and they still go after our money ;<<<! TOS aint legit! I would be happy that they where actually watching the stream, knowing that they are there, on their computers checking tournaments and streams. But hey they dont care ya mon! All dei want is aur moni. | ||

I'm not sure why that's so difficult to grasp. Maybe basing a tournament of the ladder system is then the problem in question here? If you base a tournament on something which very nature allows for account sharing (and rightly so) then isn't this the real problem here? I don't know if the majority shares my opinions or not - and nor do I care for it. My opinions ain't based upon how many simply agrees with them or not. If hacker ruins the game for others he should be banned, but is account sharing the same thing in nature? I don't believe so. It's blizzard own fault for using the ladder system this way, not the account sharer. | ||

You told HuK to stop borrowing TLO's account but he can't ladder FFS. | ||

Well if there's no one laddering that is close enough to his skill level, how far down do you propose they go? You'd get to a point where it would be like a diamond playing some gold leaguer or something, and that's no fun for anyone. | ||

I'm not sure why that's so difficult to grasp. On the whole "one company" thing -- Blizzard already causes matches to be delayed by hours, players simply waiting on battle.net or an internet connection to play while they are sitting 3 ft from each other and could be playing without the supervision of this one company. But no, Blizzard demands full control over every game of StarCraft II that is played. Ever. | ||
