Wow. Nothing gets past StarCraft fans. Case in point: Blizzard quietly announced that LAN play would be absent from StarCraft 2, and fans immediately zerg rushed an Internet petition all the way up 57,000 signatures.
As of now, Blizzard has yet to respond, though with 57,000 semi-militant people joining in a spectacular chorus of anger, sorrow, and rage, we imagine the developer won’t be able to ignore the whole fiasco for too much longer.
So, what’s your stance on LAN in StarCraft 2? Could you care less, or are you so determined to cram a bunch of guys in a room to play StarCraft that you’d even go so far as to write your name on a piece of paper?
