Pretty ironic Blizzard doesn't trust their own audience when they will arguably buy anything.
People still pay like $20 for a new copy of Starcraft.... THE FIRST ONE.
They already got the initial money, stop hiding behind this DRM shit with quasi-reasons.
BUt doesn't everyone hate Battle.net?
So their excuse before was the auction house, now they have literally no excuse.
"[I]persistent server-side character saves[/I]"
That wasn't required in the past for offline play.
"[I]a seamless PC multiplayer experience[/I]"
Uh, okay. Same here.
"[I]cheat prevention[/I]"
Nah, I've seen enough in the first months.
"[I]and Real ID and BattleTag social features[/I]"
Past games also worked perfectly without those. Just give the player a friendlist.
TBH this sucks a lot. I loved back in D2 days when you could play online with friends using your offline account. We could reset our characters a lot to try different builds and shit, it was great.
I want to see direct TCP/IP multiplayer and offline game back, I really do.
