StarCraft II Petition: 55,000 want LAN support restored

StarCraft II Petition: 55,000 want LAN support restored

By: Alan Ng | July 14, 2009 | 2 Comments

When you gamers want something, you pretty much know how to get people’s attention. It has reported that the ongoing petition for LAN in the upcoming PC game StarCraft II, has now surpassed the 55,000 users mark.

As reported from IGN, the petition began after Blizzard revealed that they will not be supporting LAN play in StarCraft II, which is due out before the end of the year. In another disappointment, the company also said that they will only be supporting mulitplayer via its Battle.net online service.

So far, Blizzard have yet to comment on the petition, which is growing by the minute. They can’t ignore it forever now, can they guys?

    The trailers shows that sequel will be at least as good as original was. But this delaying of game launch seems more matter of monetization strategy, not development issues.

    I have been a longtime player of the original starcraft and the broodwar update, and have waited all the long years as im sure the rest of the excited users have for the continuing story to come to stores. I started playing the game for my kids. Lan games were a way to connect with them and have good family fun. now thats not going to happen. they have taken the ease out of having family fun, and taken ease of enjoyment out of the game. overall im very disturbed that the lan function was not included in the game it was a great feature. Bad move blizzard…
