I would like a source aswell. :p If it's play to pay I would use the free one/two month membership for free, but after that I wont become part of the "pay to play" group. Although I think SC2 is going to kick a lot of ass I'm a college student that's paying off his car. Plain and simple that money can be used towards a better good.  | ||

ARE YOU an idiot? Honestly, unless you have extra money, what would give someone the idea that paying to play a video would be a beneficial plan? | ||

He means "Are you an idiot? Look at WoW!" Who cares if its a beneficial plan? This isnt the stock market, where you put in money and hope you get money out of it. Its just like buying paying for new games (albeit in small amounts for a certain amount of time), and theyre not forcing you to pay. | ||

The reason I think a fee would discourage the rise of progaming in SC2 is that there would be less players overall, which means less competition and a smaller player base from which to find the next Boxer. | ||

People would respect their id's, and I always think that is a good idea. Since accounts are usually banned both on their account and their cdkey if they use hacks what would be the difference from now? Still costs $50 to get banned. (Well a bit less now then when the game was new since you can get BW for like $10 and TFT for $20). | ||

and sorry Mani from what ive seen from WoW, making the game pay to play does not reduce the bad mannered people, it doesnt generate more respect, and it doesnt remove abusing. i knew and saw soooo many people who were botting and Blizzard never really did anything about it for years. People still scammed each other whenever possible (tho by design it wasn't easy), they didn't care. It's like since every player already had no trouble affording the monthly fee, they didnt even care if their account was permanently banned. No, making it pay to pay isnt going to remove the hacking, abusing, bad manner ppl, Blizz would try to stop cheating/abusing the same regardless of fee/no fee. | ||

Schwa. not "Are you an idiot" its You are an idiot. do you buy your games? did you buy Starcraft? did you buy Broodwar? Yes You payed to so that you could play. you dont get to take the game home for free do you? you had to pay for it HAH. snap you lose =) Pay to play already exists. its 100% inevitable. Unless your some kind of software pirate. but the kind of p2p we are talking about is subscriptive p2p. Paying on a monthly basis or bianually or anually etc. | ||

I was a teen from a poor family. I've even had to live on the street before. And you can always find a job if you are out there looking hard enough. At sixteen I had found a job and was making more than either of my parents and helped them with bills, and food and such. Even if you're poor, you can still learn to manage a little money each month to have fun or for the ones you care about to have fun. Additionally, from my experience, the ones complaining aren't the ones who make little money, they are the lazy people who can afford it but don't like the idea of having to pay. I don't have a problem with people who make little or no money, I have a problem with the attitude that usually comes with those people who publicly complain about it. When your dirt poor, you complain among those you live with about money issues, but you don't bring those complaints to other people. So why don't you shut the fuck up until you learn a little more about what you're trying to defend. edit: it's a very embarassing thing for a teen to be a part of a poor family so why would they want to bring attention to themselves for being poor by complaining about it? Whoa, I think you took a post way too personally. I don't think he meant it as an attack on poor people or anything... he's just making a simple point... why would anyone want to pay extra money when it can be free? It's easy to see everything as an attack of who you are, but get over it. =/ | ||
