ahem, i admit i start playing sc2 with pirated software, it is really game of the year, definitely an A list game, but i wont buy it, not that i dont have money, but what sickens me is the activision's malicious counter piracy steps. 1st they screwed up modern warfare 2, now sc2. i'd definitely buy sc2 if they giving us lan. no lan no talk.
ahem, how do you think our internet speed will meet global requirements? dont have to give statistics to know that our internet sucks big time.
see that?
well there's far more than what meets the eye. activision employs a lot of malicious act, including that the RM250 that we're paying, is buying the rights to play the game, and the software, the custom maps you're created, etc, are all belongs to them. ahem, custom maps, for example like dota, are also intellectual property, but activision blizzard has the rights to deny payments by declaring that your maps does not meet the premium map standards. (they stated that for dota).
So kEazYc, would you still laugh after knowing all these facts? trust me i've anticipated sc2 since july 2007 when it was announced and i cant wait to buy them, but it greatly disappoints me when and especially when, sc2 would not support lan. as frags said, how long will you think ppl gonna play sc2? killing lan means it will give a big impact on tournament competitions and sc2 fame depends on it, so basically i can say activision blizzard is digging graves with the name sc2 on the tombstone.
'nuff said
if they give out lan, how many malaysians will buy ori, it will fell to the same shit as warcraft 3. how many of your friends out there bought ori, how many of them KNOW about ori?? malaysians thought video games come just like that, you pay rm5-10 and get the game, who feed those engineers, dont you wanna appreciate the hardwork blizzard made? if blizzard is going to release lan, i would suggest them to release at EU, korea and NA only, once released in SEA and CHINA, its gone case. no1 will pay rm250 anymore...
or to release private server for tournaments like MLG and GSL. recent MLG final had battle net downtime so blizzard is thinking of building a lan server for tournament purpose only, of course, international tournaments, not some cyber cafe tournament.
actually, ppl can afford rm250 just that we were grown up in a society which buys pirated in default. i admit b4 im 15-16, i know nothing about ori, i thought dota and warcraft do cost rm10, i nvr knew i was doing something illegal. now, i dun buy pirated anymore, and i start to tell my mom to buy ori movie, dont allow younger brother to download songs other than itune...this society is sick. rm250 is about 2 week part time for a high school student. rm250 cant even pay for tuition fee at A lvls. rm250 cost less than telephone bill for most of the adults.
