This subject came out the other day when my gang of friends went out to play starcraft 2 together in a cyber cafe on our weekly bash. Regression in the name of progress in its finest example.Another reason why I have a number of gamer friends who refuse to buy original copies of SC2, forking out 250 bucks (yes, if you are in this part of the world that is what the price tag looks like) for a game that have no LAN capability while gaming time is getting less and less in the face of daily grind just doesn't make sense for some.
