No LAN support for SC2???
July 1st, 2009
What the hell is Brizzard thinking? My friend Sean just sent me this link over at Starcraft-Fans.com that discusses Blizzard Entertainment's justification of their decision to eliminate LAN support from Starcraft 2 entirely.
Boneheads!!!
Although it won't affect Blizzard's decision in the least, I had to show my support for SC2 LAN play by signing the petition that Starcraft-Fans.com has set up. Here is what I wrote in my petition entry:
This is a poor decision that will alienate more players than it prevents from pirating the game. Has no company learned from examples like Stardock? If you make a quality, fun and well-supported product, people will pay for it even if it completely lacks copy protection. Eliminating what many diehard fans consider a 'core function' of the game will only anger the people that made the first game (and the series) as popular as it is and cause many more to pirate the game that would otherwise have not in the first place. Just hurts to see that money is more important than being loyal to the fanbase...
