I gotta agree with Blizzard...

Battle.net is their own network that they created. I think it's reasonable that they want people to log on with only Blizzard authorized clients and not to use a emulator for that. Just my opinion on the matter...

you stupid fuck - this isn't unauthorized clients attaching to someone elses server - this is a server created as an alternative - in the case of AIM people are trying to use someone else's resources, but in this case they are trying to relieve them. you dumb fucking piece of shit dick ass - get your cummy ass off of slashdot if you want to be a dumb fucking karma whore and ignore the fucking goddamn posted article READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE you bitch motherfucker!

Blizzard Entertainment sadly mislead?

I wonder what Blizzard hopes to achieve by taking this route. It would seem to me that it has been proven that being a nazi doesn't improve sales. Why don't they look to companies like ID software and the example they have set with Quake. Creators of one of the most successful multiplayer games to date, ID Software has maintained a much more loose policy for multiplayer game play. {plus they have a policy of releasing every game under linux!}
