My friends and I have a blast playing Age of Empires 2 at lunch break. AoE2 can run without installation and this make a world of difference. Computers in the work place usually don´t allow installations.

SC2 could make a lot more fans if Blizzard release a barebone free-install version. Even if only TvT, 3 maps. There are a good amount of AoE, SC1 and other RTS players that don´t tryed SC2 yet. Installing a full version of SC2, with all the patchs, takes too long.

There's no way they will listen to this mentality.

The installation time for WoW including all the expansions and hundreds of patches was easily 10x as long as it is for SC2, yet look at how ridiculously successful WoW was.

I don't think Blizzard will ever view this as a legitimate concern

At one point i had SC2 on a USB stick and ran it with the file "SC2Switcher.exe" inside the support directory. Since i removed the "Liberty.SC2Campaign" directory inside "campaigns" it only took about 6 gb and ran without needing install on win 7, last time was about 6 months ago though dunno if it still works.

Only downside is you have to set graphic / gameplay / sound settings everytime you start it.

Edit: And you have to use a computer were you have permission to install to uppdate SC2. Also patching messed up a couple of times when i didnt restore "Liberty.SC2Campaign".
I ran it most of last spring on the adult education college computers.
