Thought I'd share this interview Kennegit of TL.net had with Dustin Browder. Covered most of the concerns we've had over the last 12 months with LAN and balance development. [youtube]uWUdMJVMvkY[/youtube] Source: TeamLiquid Youtube
I am still so pissed at Blizzard about their attitude towards LAN. WHY? If they are afraid of piracy they can sitll require you to be somehow logged into battle.net, you just won't have to be forced to play using their servers.
That's the question we've all been asking for months/years. There's no reason not to allow LAN while preserving a Battle.net connection. It's ridiculous to see these latency issues in top tournaments.
