Whaaaaat?


Also, Diablo 3 is planned to be LAN-less as well.

Discuss Blizzard's folly.

That's some real crap, next thing you know they start charging for battle.net. They're getting too greedy. I remember in a interview with blizzard, they said that they will be no Warcraft4 and if they make it, it will have a completely different story from WoW. I think this is because they get so much money off Wow that to provide the story in single player for free will rob them of money.

they'll never get Starcraft 2 to its popularity like the first one did without the LAN

By doing this they've pretty much screwed their market in Korea. Which is an abominably stupid move.

[ragnarok1945]

Well they could still change their minds at the last moment

[OnSlaUghT]

Blizzard too money hungry, this is what WoW does to a person

[ragnarok1945]

hopefully they'll keep the radio free zerg cheat in the game, if you ever typed in that cheat you'd know what I mean

[OnSlaUghT]

the cheat was just a song

[OMGAKITTY]

I doubt free zerg will be included. However, Blizzard has shown itself to be very creative with its easter eggs, so if nothing else, we should get a nice basket full of funny quotes and references.

Wow....(No Pun intended) You think they could spend some of the money they are saving up to buy Canada on some anti-piracy programs.

to serve the swarm!

[danthelizardman]

It's blizzard. Honestly, i expected this much.

[OnSlaUghT]

don't forget how they split up starcraft2 into 3 parts and plan to sell them separately

[danthelizardman]

They just never stop milking. Milk to the very last drop.

[OnSlaUghT]

them milk the cows blood while they're at it as well

Yeah well multiplayer fans aren't going to care that much, though it will for me since due to such crap net connection I can't enjoy it much, so I got mainly for single player campaign

[OnSlaUghT]

good luck playing an entire game as one race

[danthelizardman]

The 3 game thing really annoys me. Unless they're released after substantial periods of time, I won't buy any of them. Starcraft II gets less and less appealing to me every day because of these stupid things that blizzard is doing.
