Starcraft 2 - worth buying?

[kandrathe]

The federal government needs to step up and make a ruling on behavior like this.

While I personally can't stand these sorts of practices, I don't see why your government, or any other for that matter, should have the right to tell Blizzard how to grant access to their servers. It's not like you have a right to play games. If you don't like the way they do business, then don't buy their product.

Is Blizzard trying to do it's own Steam? Another victim of cloud computing over-hype. Back in the day... we used to call it mainframe computing, or timeshare computing. The problem with bandwagons is that the often end up playing the same tired old tunes.

Now, the cynical view; How do we separate you from your money? Rather than the consumer buy a game for $30-$60 once every 3-6 months, how about we lease them access to the games library for $10 a month?
