 Let's just wait and see until the release version of the patch comes out, then vote on the petition if this does turn out to be the case. | ||

At any rate, if asked my opinion I would like to see these mods stay (or be integrated), but I understand if Blizzard can't allow it for the sake of anti-hacking. | ||

"I wasn't trying to say anything worthwhile, and I wasn't actually making any legitimate point. I was just saying whatever I wanted to, so deal with it." I get it. You are insensitive because you don't have the particular problem you're saying I should deal with. Why don't you go back to telling diabetics, cancer patients and old people to shut up and deal with their issues. (Or do you not also complain about the fact that tax money goes to supporting people in situations you can't relate to?)

Ignoring the fact that Blizzard representatives have publicly stated that they support the STC mods, to what "better quality SC2 experience" are you referring? It won't change hacking, and it will eliminate mods that a lot of people like. I don't actually see any improvement... | ||

It might not be a function which gets rid of MPQ editing at all Let's just wait and see until the release version of the patch comes out, then vote on the petition if this does turn out to be the case. Indeed, I'm fully aware of that. But I'd rather brew a shitstorm about something that was misinterpreted than wait and do nothing only to lose everything after the patch hits seeing as it's even more unlikely they'll revert the change once it's officially implemented. | ||

A few people is 10% of all guys, you're essentially saying "Oh, let's just screw the handicaps, because no ramps make our building look a bit better". He can't see the difference between fucking green and red because of his genetics, don't say its some "basic skill" he's lacking. This is like glasses for those with bad eyes. You want to get rid of glasses, because only 25% of the world benefits from them, and faces generally look better without them? I can't believe some people... Also, better quality SC2 experience? Streaming SC2 content does what for this game? | ||

A diabetic's use of insulin doesn't detract from the quality of other people's lives. If this petition has its intended effect, however, it will detract from other people's experience of SC2 because Blizzard will not be able to go ahead with its planned improvements. | ||

No, it seems like you're missing just about every point. A diebetic's use of insulin is subsidised with taxes taken from your paycheck. So, yes, it does diminish the quality of others' lives. Even if that's not the case where you live, you will have insurance through your work, on a group plan, and the cost to the company of acquiring that group plan will impact everyone's paychecks. If you're not one of the people benefitting most from that plan, you're paying more than you should. Are you going to university? Then your student health insurance is the same thing. How about unemployment insurance? The foster care system? Subsidised babysitting costs? Subsidised farming to prevent imports of home-grown food? Subsidised energy rebates to promote adoption of clean energy sources? You're clearly just against any form of socialism. Grow up. And what planned improvements will be prevented? You can't tell me any, because there aren't any. As has already been said half a dozen times, locking down MPQ files does nothing to prevent hacking, and the reverse does nothing to prevent Blizzard's "planned improvements." | ||

Streaming SC2 content does what for this game? Poor logic. One's use of glasses doesn't affect others' vision. The ramp analogy is poor because "no ramps look better" is not a practical improvement, and without a ramp, disabled people cannot enter the building 100% of the time., whereas colour-blind people can still play the game to a decent level most of the time. | ||

Any computer scientist can tell you that it has nothing to do with hacks. It doesn't require more than a first-year university education in any CS program to know this. | ||

Not to mention that they haven't even stated that anti-hack measures are the reason behind this change. Infact, a few people have chimed in that this wouldn't even stop maphackers - though they haven't elaborated afaik. So will you stop acting sure, or even informed about things that you clearly aren't? You're wasting a lot of peoples times while you try to convince us and yourself that you know what you're talking a bout. PS just saw that you've been at it while I was writing this, lol. Again out of your ass claiming that colorblind can still play the game to a "decent" (????) level. I'm sure you've got a lot of feedback and data on this. | ||
