There are better ways to handle this. This totally kills any offline LAN play. You are now required to have a sizable pipe to handle traffic from your LAN party just so you and your friends can play. As someone who attends and organizes LAN parties, this sucks. This will definitely hurt Starcraft II's reputation as the competitive RTS. Most of the larger LANs I have attended (100+ people) have NO internet access.

I guess you shouldn't cripple your software with DRM.

I would have bought Dead Space, Crysis Warhead, Red Alert 3, and possibly even Spore on the PC.

Too bad I spent the money on COD:WAW, a few XB360 games, Sins of a Solar Empire, and Left4Dead.

Maybe the fact that even your crown jewel became the most pirated game of 2008 might make you take that money you are giving away to Sony and invest it in game quality. You aren't alone though, Take 2, Ubisoft, and Bethesda have a lot to learn too.

I hope you all figure out your mistakes sooner than later. Maybe take a look at how Stardock is doing things. A simple CD Key should be enough protection if you do things right.

Umm... it says:

"and Jose Theodore putting up a wall against the Wild to knock off Minnesota in four games."

San Jose is not equal to Jose Theodore. Maybe there's a case of laziness going around.
