Greetings,
I think you may well be right about the good ol' Blizzard.

I bought myself LoD when it came out. 6 months later, the cd got destroyed by my cd-rom drive. Why ? I don't know.
I bought myself another LoD after that. I made a backup copy, in case it would break, too.
10 months or so later the LoD cd got destroyed by my cd-rom-drive again. I was upset and started using my backup-cd. I had the right to, hadn't I?
Few weeks ago: patch 1.10 is released. I install it and LoD cannot find my expansion cd anymore, although it is in the cd-drive.
Few days ago: after I wrote e-mails over e-mails to blizzard, there are several different statements I got from them:
- We don't support the use of 3rd party programs with our games.
-> when the hell did I use them? I did not!!! ( I did not hint the use in any e-mail by the way, the guy answering my e-mail just guessed that I might have used them before...)
- We don't support backup-copies of our games.
-> pretty arrogant. It is not my fault that my dumb cd-rom drive crashes my LoD-copy two times.
=> result: I will have to buy myself another copy of LoD. Yet the THIRD.
Thanks to AOpen (my cd-rom manufacturer), Thanks to BUZZARD.
