I don't follow your incredible insight and brilliance, fnord. Saying it was a big issue 2 years ago inside blizzard means nothing to anyone outisde of blizzard. That's like my grandfather rickrolling me as I tell him "welcome to 2006."

It'd be cooler if you told us why the blizzard decided to not include something so explicitely expected as LAN play. Becuase speculation leads us to assume that all living entites of blizzard are nothing but warped minds and lost souls, the playthings of corporate greed.
