Thanks for posting this this is cool
So Starcraft 2 isn't going to have LAN support, they say it's because of piracy and because they want to push their new battle.net redesign featuring micropayments, pop up and banner ads. Fuck you, Blizzard

I've been wondering for awhile if they were going to do this. Blizzard is sure turning into a fine piece of shit.
Cool tech tree though, and I'm still gonna play SC2 until my eyes bleed.

I don't really care about the LAN and neither should you guys, stop pretending like you actually have friends who would be interested in playing LAN games with you.

Yeah, that kind of makes me sad, I know the SC2 forums are going crazy over it.
I really hope they include it.

Pumped about this game. Where did you find the tech tree info though? DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO SOMETHING WE DON'T?

they are only making 50 billion dollars an hour from WoW, do you really want them to miss out on the few people that love SC enough to deal with piracy but won't pay for it?

Like I said, they are forcing everyone to use their shitty battle.net service which will include a ton of new micropayment options

what I will say is that a player who goes to retail and buys the Starcraft 2 box at retail will have the full Starcraft 2 game included in the box and they will have the ability to play on battlenet with no additional fee.

We're looking forward to sharing more details about Battle.net and online functionality for StarCraft II in the near future

One idea which has been discussed in different iterations is microtransactions, meaning the service is free, but added value services like starting a custom tournament, league, or the like would cost a small amount of money.
