Warcraft III: The Single Player Experience
Disoriented writes "Cool interview about the Warcraft 3 single-player campaigns. Has me drooling for a June release." Hopefully Blizzard will drop their attack against Bnetd before the release.

As was the case with starcraft, this should be a good game right out of the box first time. After that comes the expansion (aka the tweaking) were the characters are adjusted based on the playing styles of gamers and unintended exploits. That's if Blizzard lives up to it's reputation, of course :D
Warning: you suc
Bnetd won't matter when Warcraft3 comes out because then people can buy it to play instead, of pirating the beta--which is like 99% of the interesting in bnetd at the moment.
Don't buy WC3! Blizard doesn't won't you as a customer as their maliciouse atack on BNETD has demonstrated!
Realities just a bunch of bits.
IGN ran a similiar interview with bill roper about the same subject.
No, "bnetd" isn't one of their trademarks. They aren't accusing the bnetd developers of trademark dilution.
Why is it, that everyone that defends them is a complete moron with very little understanding of the actual situation? And it does no good to point this out, because next week, your vapid little brain will have forgotten all this, and you'll latch onto yet another intellectual property term that you're incapable of understanding.
Is Bnetd a trademark violation? No, nor does vivendi claim that...
Is Bnetd a copyright violation? No, they didn't copy Blizzard's code...
Is Bnetd a patent violation? Again, no, neither the games nor the network protocol are patented.
Is Bnetd guilty of contributory copyright infringement? No, it isn't used to disable copy protection or trade games ala a p2p net, and all piracy occurs well before using bnetd
Is Bnetd a trade secret? Not any more, and no bnetd authors have worked for Blizzard, this doesn't apply.
Is Bnetd a military secret? Well, the pentagon hasn't lodged any complaints, though I sometimes suspect those 2 star generals like to play a quick game of starcraft from time to time.
Is Bnetd guilty of pissing off a big corp with nasty lowlife lawyers? Yes.
Is Bnetd safe, even though they've broken no laws? No. $$$= laws, $$$=favorable judgements. They might as well bend over, lube up, and spread their cheeks now.
Are stupid fucking dimwits who claim bnetd is a piracy tool actually causing problems for the authors of bnetd? Well, yes, if indirectly. Every time a Sen. Hollings wants to pretend he has support for the latest consumer rape law, he can point to a retard like yourself, jacquio, and claim that he has the support of enlightened citizens. Your stupid voice is much louder, than my halfway intelligent protest.
