Warcraft III Gone Gold
0x00 writes "Shacknews seems to be the first to report that Warcraft III has gone gold. The press release is here. Blizzard have announced that the game will be available July 3rd around the world - just in time for my mid-year University break (great timing!)." Update: 06/13 15:16 GMT by M : Please consider the fact that Blizzard is suing people who write software to interoperate with theirs when deciding whether you want to purchase this game.
Do I need to bring back my old sig?
Editors, put your commentary in replies like the rest of us.
How's the subscription model going, guys?
I've finally had it: until slashdot gets article moderation, I am not coming back.
And of course no Linux version at all. Please compare Blizzard and id-Software behaviour. Both companies are rich and powerfull. But even if Blizzard is making good games - they just earn money (and sues innocent people to make more and more and more money), while idsoft takes care on OpenGL and Linux.

You're right! Boycott everything!
Duping/hacking/cheating isn't friggin' BAD ENOUGH on battle.net. Go ahead and let them COMPLETELY ruin any semblance of order by allowing people to interoperate and "write their own apps" for it.
Give me a break. I'd fight it too.
Read the rest of the post, moron. "nuff said" (That's dumbass for I can't come up with anything else.)

Too bad I made your reply look so pathetically stupid by pointing out that you missed half the original post with your "rebuttal" that you had to resort to saying something like that.

Dude, you realize you looked like an utter dumbass even with that statement tacked on.
Simply making the statement at all to encourage piracy/theft, while trying to discourage someone buying the program, invalidates whatever else you were saying.
Including tacking on: Its better to avoid being called an evil pirate cuz of such and such.
Its statements exactly like yours that encourage Blizzard and other companies to protect themselves from threats, real or imagined.
I don't care whether they pirate it, steal it, burn it, cut it with a chain saw, or light it on fire. So long as they don't buy it. Dumbass.

So, your instead validating why Blizzard is enforcing the DMCA....moron.
You are the bigger moron, for not seeing that I don't give a hoot how or why someone doesn't buy the software. Not buying the software does not "validate" why Blizzard is "enforcing the DMCA," it costs them sales. I'm done trying to reason with you.

Michael:
/. editor put up, you should post a comment in response to it like the rest of us do.
If you have something to say regarding an article that another
Using your privilege to update the item itself with your opinion makes you look like an ass and undermines the democracy of the Slashdot moderations system.
" If I followed all of these boycotts, I wouldn't be able to turn on my computer"
LoL - If you followed all of the slashdot commandments you would only be able to use custom built pc systems made from biomechanical glow in the dark fish which ran linux - but could not be redhat or suse and must be self-rolled - you would also not be able to use any kind of GUI (KDE or Gnome). you MIGHT get away with PC-Dos but definately not MS-Dos. you would have to use opera as your browser. you would also only be able to connect to the internet via a modem or your own self powered satellite system and no computer would be faster than a pentium 166mmx with 64 MB of ramand a 5gig HD - and you would be required to have a floppy drive regardless if you need one or not.

Who said I am going to purchase it?! Also, I would have to wait till July 3rd for that. :)
If programs would be read like poetry, most programmers would be Vogons.
No, I belittle people who are all talk and no action. Bellyaching on a discussion board and not doing anything about isn't making the world a better place to live.
I never said I would pirate it, as you would have known had you read my original post. How about you shut up, and if you don't, I'll say you're starved for attention. Deal?
