I refuse to drink that Kool-aid

Sorry, but this is a Wait&See issue now. So we force the pirates to generate keys and consume them therefore stealing legitimate keys of those who purchase the game. Either way, I see this as an issue that creates more headache for the end user.

Sorry, I host LAN parties and WOW kills us every time. We run with a 512K up stream and if we host more than 4 gamers, our webbynet is hosed. Then you have the steam gamers and such we spend more time trying to "Authenticate" than to play the actual game.

I remember when EA came out with Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142. Both of those games had so much DRM that they wouldn't even play without being cracked on my system. This was after I purchased a legitimate copy of both. I spent more time loading the game, patching the game than playing the game.

Blizzard was awesome with Starcraft. The expansion should have allowed spawns as well, but this spreading it out over 3 games, I could handle. Dropping LAN play altogether, that's a shame.

Considering how many copies of Star Craft/War Craft/Diablo that I own, this is disappointing and most likely a loss of income from me.
