  |
|
| The downloadable application is available on various torrent sites with no crack available yet. No way I support the faceless corporation that's activision/blizzard with a purchase but I will pirate their game to sh1t and play it online via private servers. Anyway, was wondering if anybody had any insight into when a game like this would typically be cracked. I remember when warcraft 3 came out back in 2002 there was a crack out a week or so before the game's release day (the campaigns were playable). I ended up purchasing the game to play it online but that's besides the point. |

there's already a crack for the beta, although you can only play by yourself
can't say when the real game's crack will come out though - they seem to be really random with some games taking months or more to crack while others get cracked straight away.
also I'm illiterate when it comes to programming but I'm assuming it'd be difficult to play anywhere but bnet 2, considering how much effort blizzard's put into making the game reliant on bnet |

Wait till the release date. I've heard Blizzard has a special surprise for ThePirateBay internet store customers - they will be able to get a singleplayer part of $100 mln SC2 for free!

| A week maximum I guess? Because of it's popularity I imagine all the crackers will be on this right away. |

I don't have a job. I'm living on welfare, FFS.
Of course I have to pirate games. GEEZ.

Have you never heard of "voting with your wallet"? I will not "vote" for Blizzard-Activision.
But I do want to see if SC2's storyline is good. Call me a thief if you want to, we're all thieves anyways in some way or another (and the videogame industry has no moral highground on this whatsoever).

| Well, think whatever you want, but I wanna continue support PC games and Blizzard. They always delivered top quality, so I'll free some money for them even knowing they merged with the devil that is Activision. |

Who cares. If it is good then I willingly pay.
Not really hard to understand. FFS. |

I have better ways to spend $150 than buying a single game.

They developed SC2 - then cut it into 3 parts and now start selling them as separate games (they acknowledged that all 3 are finished - see tacticular cancer). Not even that but you MUST be online to play SP.
Blizzard should fucking die for this. And enjoy being raped by jew dick.
PC gaming doesn't need these untermenschen.

Wrong. Only the marine campaign is finished. Or do you seriously think they put 3x30 sp mission into a single game? We would have to wait another 3 years for that.
As for being online, only for the first time registering on battlenet. After that you can play SP offline. That's confirmed. |

Let's see. They've said that the whole "trilogy" costed them $100 mln, not just a single terrain campaign. 7 years is more than enough to make everything besides they announced "trilogy" only some 1-1.5 years before the release.
And we don't know how long those 30 missions are. They may as well be 20-30 minutes long each.
Also CIS version does require internet connection with "special" edition that costs 10 bucks less letting you to play the game only for a year (that includes all SP stuff). So basically they even release "rent" editions wtf
With servers being region locked for all versions worldwide we have Blizzard/Kotick's multiheaded dick desperately wanting to rape customer's ass.

| Blizzard always builds the multiplayer first, sp later. So my guess is that 1 -1,5 years ago when they started designing the SP campaign they figured 3x10 missions for all three races don't cut it. Perhaps they just wanna have an more expansive story? Makes total sense then to release the main game and 2 expansions later. |

In any case, we shall see. I can respect a man putting money where his mouth is... even if I think you're getting shafted.

I giggle because in this context, voting with your wallet would be buying another game you'd prefer, not pirating one you're looking forward to. What you meant was, "Have you ever heard of we don't pay for games anymore, but instead of just shutting up about it we feel some vague sense of entitlement and moral justification?"

Games are not commodities, you can't buy one from a different supplier and have it be the same. |
