I'm not 100% sure if its true but I just wanted to see what you guys think
For me, I'm pissed. I'm glad the company is going for a non-pirating idea but its seriously hurting the consumers. Anyone going to sign a petition?
None.
Possible $5 for BNET
I was reading another forum and came across this: http://starcraft2.pro/really-bad-news-about-battle-net

Woah
I don't trust a source that cannot speak or type English properly.
EDIT:
I was at BlizzCon, and didn't hear any of this. As a matter of fact, I seem to recall them saying Battle.net was going to remain free after the purchase of StarCraft 2.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specificallyOh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildingsUltraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new

Quote from ">http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon/recaps/battlenet-panel.xml]How much will Battle.net cost?
The new Battle.net will be offered free of charge for players who purchase and register the full version of StarCraft II.
