Comments on: Without LAN, I won’t buy Starcraft 2 http://rog.gameslate.com/2009/07/without-lan-i-wont-buy-starcraft-2/ The world, virtual or real, as Rog sees it.

If I purchased Starcraft 2, it would be for LAN gaming, so it's an essential feature. Availability of internet connection has not much to do with it. The workarounds aren't really appealing to me, since I expect Blizzard will pursue every legal means to block them. This is the thing for me, it’s not a matter of principle or nerd rage.

In the end, even if I can't circumvent it, it won't stop me. The availability of an internet connection and the proliferation of piracy do justify removing LAN. The game will be great and I don't want to miss it because I'm not willing to bend on principle. There will be ways to circumvent the no LAN thing.

It seems that the good old days of the LAN party are slowly disappearing. I hope Blizzard don't pull the same shit with Diablo 3, although I suspect they will. Anti-piracy network models don't belong in games designed to be LAN. Sux for the gamer, but Blizzard are all about the $$ these days. Totally agree with you Rog.
