They seriously hogged down the game with all that, really turned away a lot of people. I'm building a 1k PC for a client and if starcraft II ***** up (As i know it will, because of offline restrictions), i'm gonna lose 50% of my pay, thankfully, i'm giving him my $10 USB wireless adapter, now let's just hope his neighbors have wifi.

Why would your pay be cut in half? What kind of shit business do you have?

Its obviously because you are a dirty pirate.

next time buy a copy per machine. How many Activision execs were denied the chance to buy a Bugatti Veyron because of you?

What? I play Sc2 on friends computers all the damn time.

Also, my laptop hard drive was just hotswapped with another laptop, and Starcraft 2 works 100% completely fine on a completely different machine.

I call shens on the different hardware DRM. I'd love to see a link. Starcraft 2 plays fine on 2 separate machines in my home as well.

lol, fail. Starcraft 2 allows you to install it on multiple machines. You can only have one copy active at a time, but that is the only restriction they have.

In other words, you games is associated with your b.net account, not with your machine. You can have it installed on 10000 different machines and so long as you don't try to run the same b.net account at the same time, you'll never see an issue.

This. Install all you want, but only one can be used at a time.

Games are like politics, people like to rant and rave around nothing. The outcome is the same though, everyone is wrong.

NOT

Two weeks ago I installed the game and played for a day.

Then my motherboard died and a reinstalled it, however I have not been able to activate it on the new machine.

I emailed support over a week ago and never heard back.

WTF.

It's always funny when there is a ton of screaming and yelling about terrible business module, horrible coding, etc. for a product not working the way they want to and then finding it it is because of their own user error.

That normally happen when you are a teenaged pimple ridden face with no gf or social skills.

I only buy games from Steam.

I used to think this way, because Steam is indeed great. But I had a lot of fun with both Demigod and League of Legends (a free game) and neither are on Steam. I would have hated to miss out on them, not to mention Heroes of Newerth is also not on Steam but a great game.
