Starcraft 2 - worth buying?

I think that if Blizzard were taken to task about this, they would be forced to patch the game so you don't have to re-register every 30 days as long as the packaging does not state that you must have internet to play.

The packaging does say you need internet.

If the packaging does say as much, then Blizz will probably win the battle. At that point it will depend on the lawyers and the judge. If you could get a gamer-friendly jury, that'd be a different story.

I doubt this could go to a jury. It is probaby a question of law, not of fact, and therefore would be up to the judge to decide. Of course you might have a gamer-friendly judge.

Ah! I didn't know if it said that on the box. Thanks for the info!

Now, my perspective? As long as it isn't pay-to-play, and the re-registration isn't terribly complicated, I don't mind. Blizzard has a right to ensure that their game isn't being pirated. And since they'll track my purchase and let me re-download and keep track of my saves on the newer games, it gives me data redundancy. And that makes me happy.
