Blizzard has issued a statement blaming software piracy for the recent decision to cut LAN gameplay from Starcraft II.

They are blaming piracy? oh fuck off blizzard with this bullshit.. they are just being greedy and its a perfect way of targeting users.
quite bloody obvious they didn't plan LAN play in the first place when they can force plebs to have to run and use another shitty platform service just to get into a fucking game!..
I'm not buying any games using any shit platform like steam at all, ever again. You should not have to run crap like that just to play a game..
"quality multiplayer experience "
having to run some other shit before you can even get into a game and play singleplayer/multiplayer game is not a fucking quality experience fools.
"advanced communication options, achievements, stat-tracking, and more, require players to be connected to the service"
optional crap .. this should be optional for users who want that!!! ie OPT IN!
They can blame there own anti piracy bullshit and crap game updates now.

"So let me summarize...
1. No Lan
2. The cool multiplayer part will cost money
3. They split up the game into three parts at full price each
4. Each split of the game is only one species for single player
5. Each split (or expansion if you prefer) will take a YEAR EACH to come out
6. The expansions will not change the outcome of the ending "
...oh yeah
and those other points.

Sad really...We all know game is going to get pirated anyway on both client and server side.
Paying customers are going to be "hurt" because of no LAN play.
Not to mention how ridiculous it is to sit in internet cafe with friends and connect to battle net to add extra lag to the game...BS if you ask me. |
