    Its starting to seem increasingly likely that this will be out this year. Is anyone thinking of getting it?
    Starcraft II review on Ars Technica

    May I point out:

    Rob Pardo, senior VP of game design at Blizzard Entertainment confirmed in an interview with IncGamers that the StarCraft II development team "don't have any plans to support LAN," and clarified saying "we will not support it." The only multiplayer available will be on Battle.net.

    don't have any plans to support LAN,

    I understand that they are trying to curb piracy, however, I think this is a terrible move. Its especially odd since Starcraft pioneered the system of spawning copies, or allowing people to play the game on the lan with three people sharing one disc. Also I tend to get better ping to people in my own house than on the internet. Maybe its just me.

    On an unrelated point the game will be sold as a separate game for each race. You can play any race in multi-player, owning only one of the games, but each race will most likely introduce new units and advances which would make you want to own all three.

    I used to say that Blizzard used to be the game company that could "do no wrong", but now its currently in fourth place. Its news like this that is the cause of that.

    I could deal with separate games for each race, but no LAN play makes me upset. Not that I would play LAN very often, its not like I live in a dorm anymore, but its more of the principal of the mater. LAN play was one of the biggest selling points for these games.

    At this point its no longer a "instantly buy at launch" title, I have to wait to see what else they do to this game to see if I really want this now.

    No LAN play doesn't really affect me much. I think it's stupid to leave it out, but it doesn't affect me. I did not know you have to buy a different for each different race! That is absolutely ridiculous!!!
