Think of it this way, you purchase a game, 6 months later they start giving that game away with the system you purchased it for. That doesn't make you entitled to a free copy of the game, or equivalent monetary value.

Yeah I'm gonna agree with everyone saying "you bought it however long ago and have been using and appreciating it since, it wasn't worthless"
So what if it's worthless when HotS comes out, no need to penny pinch when you've already gotten use out of it. It's like buying a pizza from Domino's and eating 3/4 of it then returning the last 1/4 and saying "I didn't really like it".
Is this real life?

Thanks for your post, but if statistics prove anything, it still won't clear anything for most people who barely read 1 out of 10 words.
If anyone had any ticket-responses on this issue, let us know here. Cheers

Well people just assume that Blizzard does not implement something in Global Play for accounts with two licences so u can use them both. Global Play isn't even released yet officially
|
I have the same problem and asked the support if i should make a new account and add there the key or if i should add the second key to the same account: their answer back then (about 1,5yrs back): I should add it to the same account since they dont plan on implementing global play.
Obviously i lold pretty hard a few weeks back when they finally added global play. -.-

How many people are honestly planning on spending much time in WoL when HoTS comes out, this won't really matter will it?

This doesn't make any sense. Both people will have 2 WoL copies, but Person A will have them both on the same battle.net account.
It's the same as with poeple who have multiple WoW accounts, when you login you can choose which game account you want to use.
Person B would have the ability to give away his second battle.net account but this isn't allowed anyway.
If you want to transfer one of your copies because you don't need it anymore you have to call Blizzard and ask if they'll do it.

No Transfer or Sublicense.
THE GAME IS LICENSED, NOT SOLD. NEITHER THE GAME NOR THE LICENSE GRANTED IN SECTION 1 MAY BE SUBLICENSED OR TRANSFERRED TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, AND ANY ATTEMPT TO DO SO SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the foregoing sentence to be unenforceable, you agree that you will call Blizzard Customer Service at 1-800-592-5499 to arrange for the transfer of your rights under this Agreement to another person with a valid Battle.net account; provided, however, that Blizzard may charge a processing/handling fee to facilitate the transfer, issue a unique key to the transferee, and remove the preexisting key from the Battle.net account registered to you.
In e.g.Germany this shouldn't be any problem at all.

How many people with multiple accounts on THE SAME server buy multiple copies of HotS?
(I won't, but some will - people who purchased multiple sc2 copies on the same account don't have to purchase multiple HotS accounts, but some of them might now want multiple accounts on the same server.)

Conti you are wasting your time, the amount of ignorance and complacency i have seen in here since lastnight is mind blowing ... but it is lucky there are people who go the extra mile in the world and DONT sit and take it. We are the ones that make things happen -
BLIZZARD COMPLETELY AGREE WITH ME!!! you can stop condescending, mocking, and treating people in my position like self entitled idiots now because the people who SUPPLY the services i have in question COMPLETELY AGREE and i have been advised to get back in touch if i am not compensated when Global Play is finalized.
Keep rolling over and taking it up the backside, some of us FULLY understand our rights as a consumer and have no problem exercising them. $60 to one person is 10x that to another you all need to wake up!
oh and Blizzard understood my analogy 100%

I had 2 copies - 1 cheap with localization locked and 1 full version. I can still log in with both via client and the cheap one is not even language locked anymore.

Well, can't blizzard just give the people with multiple copies of WoL on their account the option of an alternative battlenet ID starcraft 2?

You don't lose anything with the introduction of global play. Before its introduction you were able to play on both NA and EU on the same email. After its introduction you are able to play on both NA and EU. They haven't taken anything away from you and they sure as hell shouldn't have to give you anything just because they have allowed global play for everyone else.
Using the same entitled 'gimme something for nothing' logic that you use, because I paid ~$90 for WoL when it was released, and with the price now being ~$50 (in my country) I should be entitled to a $40 refund! Unfortunately it doesn't work that way; you have had the last 2 years to enjoy the benefits of multiple accounts and you sure as hell aren't losing anything from this, so you are entitled to nothing.

Actually in your first scenario 'Person A buys 1 extra WoL copy. He registers it on his original battle.net account. He now has 2 WoL copies' he actually only has 1 WoL copy, just on 2 different regions. After global play, he still only has 1 WoL copy, and still only has it on 2 regions. The fact that paid for 2 back in 2010 is irrelevant, he has enjoyed the benefits of multiple servers for the last 2 years and he isn't losing anything. What happens to the person B who bought 2 different copies on 2 different email addresses doesn't actually affect person A, since A is in the same position before and after the introduction.

Ah, but you got something - you got another region play - at a time when others who only bought one copy couldn't get it. At that time that luxury was expensive. Now it's cheaper. I must interrupt. Global play is not a luxury, it is a standard feature in all PC games of which StarCraft 2 was stripped to customers' harm. Please do not turn a deficiency into a norm.
Lol, there is no 'standard feature' that all video games must have and comply with, lest they be damned to video game hell. You knew there was no global play when WoL was released and you purchased it anyway. If you didn't like the lack of global play you shouldn't have bought WoL.
Edit: Let me illustrate with an example
Person A buys WoL at release for $90
Person B buys WoL one month ago for $50.
According to your logic, person A should receive a $40 refund, so that all is fair amongst consumers despite a change in circumstances, despite the fact person A willingly purchased a copy at that price and has enjoyed the product since.

Conti, you're doing an amazing job, but the amount of people which don't read is staggering. I fear you are doing Sisyphus' work.

Ryder, can't you read at all.
One person buys 20 SC2. It registers them on DIFFERENT emails.
global Play comes and this person STILL HAS 20 ACCOUNTS.
BUT
if that person registered his 20 accounts on the SAME EMAIL, then,
Global Play comes and this person NOW HAS 1 (ONE) ACCOUNT!

No, it is you who can't read.
They still have as many accounts as there are servers (20 is a nonsensical number anyway since you can't have more than 1 account per server per email...)
The fact that somebody else now has more does not change what you have. You have exactly the same thing! Unfortunately your envy is not a valid reason for 'free HOTS copy' (lol? really?)

YES you can have more accounts per same email.
You can have:
1 NA
1 EU
1 CN
1 SEA
1 KR
1 TW
1 Latin America (if you bought it at start)
Can you count now the accounts LOST?

FFS I will state this once more as simple as I can.
You still have the same number of accounts. The same! With global play you can play on NA, EU, CN, SEA, KR, TW and Latin America using the 1 email address. This is EXACTLY the same as what you could do before.
You aren't losing anything! What part of this is so hard for you to understand?
Edit: And I'm sorry but Blizzard isn't out to make things 'fair' between consumers who paid for multiple copies on the 1 email address vs those who spread them across a few. They aren't your fucking parents trying to even things out between siblings! To make things fair they would either have to remove the smurfs of those with multiple accounts on different emails (completely impractical and unviable) or give everyone with multiple regions free copies to even it up that way (another completely unreasonable request). You haven't lost anything, so why the fuck do you think Blizzard have some sort of obligation to give you free stuff? Just because the guy across the road got it? Get real.

1 person buys 10 copies of SC2 on one account, and after Global Play he only has 1 copy left.
1 person buys 10 copies of SC2 on ten accounts, and after Global Play he has 10 copies left.
Exactly the same thing, Ryderlogic ftw

So with that mentality OP could also ask clothing shops to compensate him when there are reductions on a piece of clothes that he already bought earlier.
Or if someone buys a car right now, which price is reduced one year later, would it be normal for him to ask a compensation?
That's not how it works.
