meh, I'm sure they will provide some sort of offline multi-play that only requires one key.
I think it's still pirate-able even without LAN. Someone would just create a patch and a server and then play Bnet illegally, without CD key. It's been done. No LAN means alternatives will come in. Piracy will never seize to amaze one sometimes.
you are not entitled to:
(iv) host or provide matchmaking services for the Program, or emulate or redirect the communication protocols used by Blizzard in the network feature of the Program, through protocol emulation, tunneling, modifying or adding components to the Program, use of a utility program, or any other techniques now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose including, but not limited to, network play over the Internet, network play utilizing commercial or non-commercial gaming networks, or as part of content aggregation networks without the prior written consent of Blizzard;
8. "On-Line" Components of the Program. This Program contains an 'on-line' component that allows you to utilize the Product over the Internet utilizing servers and software maintained or authorized by Blizzard. Blizzard agrees to provide the servers and software technology necessary to utilize the "on-line" component of the Program in accordance with this End User License Agreement and with the Terms of Use that you must accept prior to playing on Blizzard’s Internet gaming service "Battle.net."
I think what Blizzard is doing is that once you log in to B.net, you get the lan option. That way, you can still play lan, but B.net can still check your CD key. At least, thats the smart way of doing it.
I just thought of something. If they altogether get rid of LAN and you need a seperate disc for each comp then just buy the trilogy. All the campaign discs should work with each other for multiplayer right? Then when you buy the trilogy just install a different disk on each computer. If you have more then 3 computers then I guess you'll be SOL though
That's what I was trying to say...
Yeh, I think that would be a decent alternative for most of us..
