			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found the intense pressuring they&#8217;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&#8217;s part, and their actions with Starcraft II have only re-inforced that opinion.</p>
<p>In the world Blizz envisions, I guess no one ever has a LAN party that doesn&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;t buy a copy until someone has cracked that stupid part, which is probably before the game itself is even released.  Morons.</p>
