what i meant was that if your internet connection is down you will not be able to play with your friend who is in the same room as you are, which is absolutely ridiculous

and if you have bad internet that occasionally lags/disconnects you’ll get that while you’re playing on a lan :s

really i don’t care much myself since i don’t play starcraft but this is the kind of thing that makes me loathe the game industry: they turn everything into a service which makes you dependent on the company and if the company goes away you are pwned

Signed. People shouldn’t have to resort to hax to have basic functionality that has been industry standard for something like 15 years.
