Cool story bro

[rpgsuperfan]

I love Blizz, no company that made Starcraft and Diablo 2 can do wrong in my eyes, but they were working for Davidson & Associates at the time. Ever since Vivendi got a hold of them it's been random item drops, nerfed early game dungeons, and overpowered greens. I'm convinced these decisions are coming as a result of pressure from Vivendi to get a few extra Porsches and pools full of money for their guys.

The point the Latino guy made did not make sense at all. Blizzard actually DOES owe us jack shit because they've been postponing this game for almost a damn decade. This is a damn democracy and if they don't follow what the people want, they will not get the support and money they need. Seriously, what is a game without its players? I see companies like Valve out there, really kicking ass and pricing their games at cheap with LAN. If a small company like Valve can be generous, why cant blizzard?

hm wat about people with NO Internet how will they play with their friends, children and how will the military enjoy games? Blizzard is just filled with greed and we are pissed off because Starcraft had this feature like a decade ago, it's an embarassment

starcraft 2 without lan game will be worthless

@Seshhi I remembered I knew that when you mentioned it.

[PhrozenFox]

@Seshhi Then what's the point of not adding it to begin with, it's just a feeble attempt if you ask me.

[PhrozenFox]

@Seshhi You have not contributed any point of your own, care to?

[PhrozenFox]

They don't owe us anything?

We bought their games, we waited for their patches, we played on their servers, we gave them their jobs, their life; their company exists because of us.

They owe us nothing? Bullshit.

Most of all, we tolerate that World of Warcraft garbage, and the effect it has on their games, postponing SC2 and D3, splitting SC2 into 3 parts out of what I can only imagine as greed. I am pirating everything they are releasing after WoW.

[PhrozenFox]

Oh cool, now I just have to pirate a LAN patch.

Nice try...

You have enough money Blizzard.

The problem with anti-piracy protection is that it ONLY affects the people who LEGITIMATELY purchased the game. Pirates ALWAYS get a way to play the game via LAN or private servers. (Everyone else probably said this already)
