Did you read their reasoning? I shall highlight the salient points for you:

1. You're paying for a Blizzard Game that's bound to last for a long, long time.
2. Local competitive/non-competitive event support.
3. Better latency.

Of the 3, only reason no.1 sounds even relatively palatable.

The rest is pure rationalisation and BS. SC1 survived and prospered) without their "support". So, trying to justify a price increase with this reason is lol to say the least.

As for better latency, you can ask any of the SCII beta players here. They don't have any problem playing on the US server. So massive fail reason there. Why confine our player base to SEA and Aus/NZ when we clearly can and should be allowed to compete against players globally?

No problem for me to play all the way from Australia to US. It lags a bit but it's much lesser compared to DoW2 or RA3.

I dont see why they want region lock.

The way i see, the chances of SC2 succeeding in esports is very low.

for the bolded...
read the sc2 thread...
so so so many people QQ about lag/ mapdownload/ patch

My bad. Shouldn't have assumed that. Scratch that part. It applies mostly to Sg players I guess.

I shall just wait and see before I buy the game and see which region I should get it from. ATMT I shall just enjoy the beta as much as possible, SEIZE THE MOMENT!!!!!

when did this happened or rather, who did this happened with?

this is whut happened when you messed with Horo for so many times

Husky Whining about SC2, I guess this is the best place to while with HUSKY. HUSKY I love to whine too.

Seriously Im dissapointed with it but who gives a damn bout posting a hate thread and update it all the time when LIFE IS SO FREAKING SHORT!!!

As long as many people buy, it wouldn't be a problem. The problem is however, is getting people to buy in SEA. This is especially true when only a handful of Malaysian willing to buy it(original that is) and piracy being rampant in Malaysia.

Maybe we can hate but at least not causing the developers to lose heart developing games for the PC. PC gamers has always demanded a lot from developers

Are you going to buy the original Starcraft 2 US version?

honestly, the reason why i liked starcraft is maybe beacuse its the first every strategy game that i played, so i cant say that im a fan ~~

and i wasnt really that disappointed with SCII, the game itself didn't just evolve into 3D, new units new skills also create a new gameplay

plus if they would make big leap from starcraft 1, it would make the game complicated and fans might just start running away

and by the way blizzard is allowing players from SEA, australia, new zealand to join the us server without extra charges.
