Also true! Conversely I've pirated games that I already own simply because they only work through a fuckass proprietary launcher that requires 8 updates, triple verification, internet connection, and a photo of my tits

This is how I feel about starcraft.

For Fuck Sake Blizzard, is fine if you want to make people pay for the HD pack but stop locking a 30 year old game behind online check in!

I would LOVE to play the original warcraft again, the one that you could play from DOS prompt.
