Yes, I still regularly play on Battle.net. My problem here isn't attempting to fix up Battle.net and support that in the software, in case you were somehow confused.
I'm saying there's
absolutely no compelling reason to need an Internet connection for a game which has the terms already set by people in a single room that are all aware of everyone's skills and so on; similarly, there's no compelling reason to need one for a simple single-player game. What the fuck is that?
The trolling stuff isn't very useful here, either. I like how you automatically "know" that I'm not a great player and how I'm "not one of those people that wants LAN without an Internet connection." Come off it, I know this is
/prog/ and trolling is like Ed: THE STANDARD, but this could be a reasonable discussion.
I don't buy new games that force bullshit restrictions on me. I don't play them at all because if they were worth my time, they wouldn't be putting bullshit restrictions on me. I won't buy StarCraft II if there are arbitrary and utterly pointless limitations, despite how much I know the game is going to rock. Lay off the fallacies, please.
