Battle.net 2.0 is more like that Bioware/EA stuff they do now for Dragon age and Mass Effect 2, right?
Just another way of getting DRM in there without pissing people off too much.

Gundato: Don't get me wrong, I think the lan thing is whining too. But your rationale is pretty shortsighted.

TheCheese33: Yes, but did those people grow up playing the original StarCraft? No they did not. How can they miss something that they never experienced in the first place? They'll likely be happy playing another game LAN if they want to.

So, because they didn't play Starcraft at LANs, they don't have any interest in LAN gaming?

That wasn't what I was saying, but you're right, I was being foolish.

MaceyNeil: snip

Christ, did I murder your child or something? How did a debate turn into "actually have real friends" and "ignorant, childish and without merit"? Also, I don't think I quite understood the point you were trying to make with your sarcastic, "childish" outburst, so could you at least proofread for spelling and pronunciation before you throw mud at me?
A keyboard is an excellent place to check what you say before you say it. I suggest you calm yourself, collect your thoughts, think long and hard about the correct words you should use to make your point and how insulting the individual will not help your cause. Get back to me when you've done that and maybe I'll listen to what you're saying.

My rebuttal was laughable? Fuck you. There isn't one sentence in your entire tirade that was proper English.. You can't even admit you were an asshole, even after I admitted I was wrong. You're (there's also a difference between your and you're, learn it) taking the coward's way out, and you should be ashamed for it.

PoSSeSSeDCoW: Online activation every 30 days is one of the most heinous forms of DRM? Well, guess I'm fine with all DRM then, because SC2's doesn't bother me one bit.

wait what?
you have to activate the game regularly every 30 days to be able to play it?

That's what I've heard claimed. I don't know for sure if it's true.
Not sure if it is true. But if it is, Blizzard have a very good reason to do that. There is an exploit that allows you to play the single player portion of the game without owning the game, so I think the 30 days activation thing is to stop that exploit a little.

It is not true. You need to activate the game ONCE.
It's all moot, though, since you'll probably be playing it online anyway.

That was for a contest that happened weeks ago on Giant Bomb, but someone dug the thread up and used it to attack Blizzard. Sorry for the confusion.

I'll report back after 15-20 days if offline mode still works. I only played the game with a trial account, but hey, the single player portion is still available for me.
