I would call it ghetto becauase it's sloppy around the edges and not even as clean as some of the cardboard box/duct tape mods that are out there.
on the upside he tried something new and props for that
fsgs was the first bnet server created for starcraft originally called starhack. They already went through court to show that they were allowed to use their servers. but now the DMCA changes things
this is not blizzard it is their parent company, they are simply protecting their right to screw the legitimate users over by switching to a pay to play model. Why else would they refuse to work on an authentication system for external servers. It would cost them less money in the end.
If someone doesn't move development to a non-DMCA country then I'll continue development on my own in Canada
