I found the intense pressuring they’ve been doing on World 0f Warcraft, to convert accounts to battle.net, very annoying. Not least because battle.net has traditionally been a black hole of suck. I suspected it was all part of a nefarious scheme on Blizz’s part, and their actions with Starcraft II have only re-inforced that opinion.
In the world Blizz envisions, I guess no one ever has a LAN party that doesn’t have a 1gbit connection to the internet, which is fucking stupid. If you only have dial-up, like literally millions of gamers, you can’t have your friends over to play a game, even though everyone has a fully paid copy. Yeah, that totally sounds like the grassroots growth that made the first Starcraft a success. I sure as hell won’t buy a copy until someone has cracked that stupid part, which is probably before the game itself is even released. Morons.
