that means if you want to play with other people, you have to buy the game

everyone pirates

I disilike pirating but usually I only do it when I cant afford something but I prefer to buy things like a validated copy of Windows or Nintendo Wii game etc I never pirate games or anything related to computer hardware/software.

I shouldn't be saying this since I just torrented the last episode of Dragonball Z remastered this morning D:

lol, those players who are pissed about this thing, they can be pissed about it all they want but it won't make a difference, they are not gonna stop playing, they are gonna buy the game anyway because they are addicted.

I personally will purchase the game anyways, but removing LAN is a terrible idea. From my experience with SC1 on Battle.net has a 1.5 second delay, which utterly ruins microing. Then again, people on Battle.net either play BGH or Fastest games, so the level of skill wasn't high to begin with.

If they're going to turn it into a massive macro party, then I'd just go play Warcraft 3, Red Alert, or Warhammer 40k.
