That is indeed probably one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard.
I'm sure people will find a way to emulate the battle.net servers and do it anyway, but, seriously? What a stupid move on Blizzard's part.
Ah well, still gonna play it, and there will be workarounds (just connect via battle.net anyway)... just don't see the logic there. |

Yeah, it isn't THAT big of a deal, but it just seems like a dumb move to slap the gaming community in the face like that. A big reason Starcraft has such a following is because of its internet-cafe popularity (especially in Asia); a place that very much uses the LAN feature.
But really, this can be worked around. Nowadays if you have a system that can access a LAN, you can probably access the internet as well, which, obviously, allows Battle.net. However, like you said...don't see the logic here. It's creating an unnecessary second step. |

My big gripe is, what's the point in adding all the extra hops if you want to play with someone sitting next to you? |

Looks like Blizzard is stepping up its anti-piracy by creating bnet only multiplayer where you have to have a battle.net account that verifies the legitness of the game.
I for one am happy for this change as I hate people that steal games. |
