All this LAN Hack does is encourages piracy with is the death of most PC games. Playing Online is where it is at and as you can see games like WOW and console games such as COD with massive player bases. The Internet is the future not LAN. | ||

From an e-sport standpoint however, not having LAN is borderline ridiculous. In addition to the potential for lag, there is always the possibility that the internet at the venue could experience issues <cough> MLG Dallas <cough>. Thankfully, there were no such internet issues in Columbus or Anaheim. However, until there is at least a LAN option for these massive Blizzard sanctioned events; there is always the threat of a very important and exciting moment in SC2 to be tainted by a very solvable problem. If you want e-sports to truly be successful, you have to provide the viewer with the best possible experience. I can tell you from personal experience that watching them fill time on the stream while they try to work out internet issues is not entertaining. Even if Blizzard doesn't implement it for the common player, at least make LAN available for these huge tournaments that they support. There was still lag during anaheim, it wasn't as bad during day 2 and 3 though. There's a pretty big difference between playing the two and I can see that in a tournament where every player needs to be playing their best it makes a HUGE difference. Play a game against the AI in single playeer then again in multiplayer and you'll notice it. To stay on topic though, I personally wont use this but this hopefully will be more reason for blizzard to release LAN support. | ||

The existence of this hack basically amounts to coercion, as the creators said they will stop their project if Blizzard includes LAN themselves. I don't think that's a good precedent, and it's not the right way to go about advocating official LAN. Personally, if not including LAN does in fact cut down on piracy, I am absolutely fine with not having it. | ||

Maybe with tournament maps, so that you can play with people in asia. Certainly would love to see somethig like that. I don't really think that blizz themselves will ever implement LAN. the chances for google+ support are a lot higher i would guess. | ||

That is so retarded. that there is capitalism at work :D that said, i think i might get this when they come out with an english version and pretty much say fu to blizzard due to b.net 2.0 being so ridiculously bad | ||

I haven't been keeping up with all the news looked into deeply with blizzard's history but hasn't recently Diablo 3 will support cash auction system where they stated in the video interview that "it gonna happen anyway might as well us do it" (not direct quote but somewhere along that line). I'm all at loss with blizzard's philosophy approach right now. Was it all just bs just to maximize profits? Of course, lol. As sad as it may be, in 2011 the best form of DRM is no lan/always online. A lot of companys don't release games with LAN anymore. | ||

Have you actually stopped to think why every man and there dog has an XBOX 360. Its the bringing of all the players together that counts. Sonys online version sucks balls I know a lot of people who dumped their Wii's and PlayStation's too play live with a 360 with their friends online. They get a few beers and have small events and enjoy team play from their own home. I paid £36 for SC2 and its been well worth the value. The only people who moan about LAN are pirates. I dont see pros moaning about it, | ||

I also don't understand why someone would need LAN, unless you are in a tournament environment. I think you answered your own question. Also, some people are discussing that xbox and such do so well because they are online but... doesn't Halo (one of the most, if not the most popular online xbox game) support LAN? | ||
