    So the news that Starcraft 2 will not support LAN has just hit the wire, and predictably, the online community has gone nuts with bashing Blizzard.

    While I'll miss the LAN feature, I can't help but feel like this is just desserts. Just look at Warcraft 3 and how many pirated copies there are out there, with people taking advantage of the LAN feature to play via Hamachi or other applications like GArena. GArena doesn't bother with checking to see if the copies are legit or not, and honestly, I feel sick when I think of how many people are enjoying the fruits of Blizzard's labors without even throwing them a bone.

    Blizzard is just taking the next logical step in the war against piracy. Don't blame Blizzard: this decision must've been tough, but was ultimately necessary. Instead, blame the pirates who've been screwing Blizzard over and applications like GArena for allowing pirates to have full functionality.

    What? I mean, I don't give a shit about LAN, but how are pirates the fault of people who want LAN?

    I'm in the exact same boat as Haethos. However, if there is no LAN and the AI is retarded, that will make practicing painfully difficult--for someone who will be playing the game casually like myself, anyway.
