So why remove it at all? I believe there's another reason. Removing LAN play as an option, in my opinion, has nothing to do with piracy. There is nothing Blizzard can do to stop that - they know that as well. Third-party cracks and pirated copies will still surface for StarCraft II. Thieves will steal games regardless of the changes made to them. However, Blizzard blaming piracy on a design change is just wrong. It would be acceptable, in my eyes, for Blizzard to require a game be authenticated however many times per month in order to sustain LAN play. They require authentication once, or for newer titles, every 'once in a while' - not every time you play them.

As to the unnamed guest who claimed that my suggestion was foolish, I would remind him to look at the numerous single player Steam games available. I believe that platforms like STEAM are a step in the right direction, even though I am opposed in virtually every way to DRM. That said, changes to a game shouldn't be made from a 'ruins it for the rest of us' standpoint. It is theft, and it is you telling the developers and publishers behind a game that you don't feel their product is worth paying for. They use pirates as a scapegoat because they know it is difficult to argue against. They need a valid excuse to justify stripping out a rather enjoyed feature of their games, and piracy is the catch-all blame phrase. I believe that's only being used as a scapegoat for another agenda. I don't agree at all that piracy is the actual problem here. After that period, they tend to do things like loosen up (or remove) DRM, etc. It's that first huge rush that publishers worry about piracy affecting the most anyhow.

I can foresee official LAN support coming sometime after the initial launch, probably as a patch, once the initial sales rush has died down, and piracy is not as big an issue to Blizzard.

After all, a cracked version that had LAN support could be played anytime anywhere. If you force the connection to be through the internet, I'm guessing through an authentication check of some sort, at least you are making the piracy to play by LAN harder. I can see why Blizzard went the way they went, because I've seen a few LAN parties myself where lots of 'mysterious unlabeled CD' copies were passed around so everyone could play. By definition, the 2 formats are basically mutually exclusive in this situation. So seriously, what good would an online authentication system do in a LAN party situation? If you already have the internet access, you don't necessarily NEED the LAN support. The LAN party fans are upset because they don't want to (or in many cases can't) connect through the internet for the party.

I think you rather missed the point, when asking about why not STEAM or something similar. What prevents Blizzard from incorporating measures such as this? So why not do the same with StarCraft II, requiring some sort of online activation before LAN play becomes possible? Compare Steam and the EA Downloader, both of which even require occasional re-authentication of single player games to keep them functioning.

Such tactics are becoming increasingly common, with more games requiring online verification to make full use of content. Bob Colayco of Blizzard told Joystiq that this “safeguard” against piracy wasn't an easy decision for them, indicating they knew many players would be unhappy with it.īlaming piracy for stripping features is one way to explain their actions. Unsurprisingly, the company’s decision was rooted in piracy, coming as an attempt to curb illegal downloads after the game is released. In a follow-up to yesterday’s announcement that StarCraft II would lack LAN support and the subsequent public outcry, Blizzard has gone on record to explain their controversial move.
