BLizzard did not force you to buy extra copies of the game. They don't care that you have to play on Europe sometimes or on Korea sometimes. You chose to buy it.

This is not about global play, this is about extra licenses becoming void, instead of Blizzard doing the fair thing and giving people a separate account per license (so they can be used, sold or whatever).

In my opinion anyone who is not a pro but bought multiple copies of this game has made a (stupid) decision, and just because Blizzard is adding a feature to allow playing in all regions does not mean you should not face the consequences of said decision. Besides, let's not forget that whatever benefit the additional copy of SC2 gave you, you had the pleasure of having it during the last months or years, that does not just disappear.

Basically; you paid for something which you received. That others receive something similar in the future does not rob you of anything you had, and still have. You knew there always was the option of Blizzard adding such a feature, yet you still bought your additional copy.

I wish people could just be glad when Blizzard adds features to this game, instead of becoming jealous / greedy / think they deserve compensation because they paid for something that will now become free for others. Frankly, it's quite pathetic.

Not really become void. You bought and been played for two years on the second server before the global go live, so it's like the fee for playing other regions in the same account in past two years.
Thus you guys know there will be global play or something like that in HotS. Didn't think about " Well when it comes I just need upgrade one " and make another free battle.net account ? :S

Overall good thing but there should be a way for excess Sc2 profiles to be transferred to new B.net accounts. Only problem with that I guess is the ability to sell your copies second hand to someone. Maybe just allow accounts to have multiple profiles would be the best way.

Blizzard gives you a free upgrade for all your accounts and you think they "screwed" you? Would you rather like to pay for multiple HotS licences? You really think you are entitled to receive reimbursement for nothing? C´mon, kid... wake up

It isn't like people were tricked into buying multiple copies. Global play was announced not too long ago, so it's not like you didn't get use of your second account right?
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

How dumb are you? People who have 2 or more accounts will lose their extra accounts which they bought with real money.

Did Blizzard force them to buy the second one ? And they also can play global with 2 different accounts anyway

T_T Too bad it's useless to try explaining the situation, when OP gives false image of the situation and everybody only read that. I just don't understand why people feel the need to reply to 50 comment thread, after reading just OP.

People keep missing the point. If Blizzard is going to give people one separate WoL account per license bought (what an outlandish concept, right?), then everything is fine. If they don't and you still defend them, well.. then you most likely haven't thought this through.

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.

It's like getting an expensive PC that's now cheaper, and asking to get the new expensive PC for free, basically.

Thats a good way to put it...

Blizzard has only one job...make money. IF you bought another account you did that because you wanted it. Its like for example iphone 4s is out and you bought one, but wait the iphone 5 is out and you bought it. That is your choice to spend that money. BLizzard has no fault here and actually shouldn't have to do anything.

This is a rediculous statement by the OP. Stop whining for when they add a good options, you've decided to get multiple sc2 copies, there is absolutely no reason you should be reimbursed or whatsoever...

Well that's just your opinion.

In my opinion Blizzard doesn't owe you jack shit and doing anything about this is entirely optional.

That's a horrible analogy. You wouldn't lose your old Iphone. You can sell it or give it to a friend.

Blizzard are in effect deleting existing accounts, that was created with perfectly normal purchased licenses.

I'm really wondering if opinions like these exist because by now there are people who are young enough that they grew up with buying licenses of games, and never actually owned a single game in their life. And that they really, genuinely think that companies can and should do whatever the flying fuck they want, and everyone who complains is at fault because they dared to buy the game in the first place. And that you should just get used to companies treating you like some vermin, because.. well, because! They have the right to treat you like sheep! So you better not complain, or you're just stoopid.

I'm so damn puzzled by this thread.

I have 3 copies on my account. Would be great to get something free for that.
