Dear Blizzard,

There has been much hoopla over your recent decision to not include LAN play in Starcraft 2, but many of us feel the real issue is the lack of IPX support. A large portion of your player base is still running late 80s Novell Netware pure-IPX based networks and will not be able to participate in multiplayer Starcraft 2 due your insistence on using inferior networking protocols like TCP/IP.

While we hope to continue to enjoy Starcraft 2 singleplayer on our Tandys and Packard Bells, the multiplayer component brings lasting value to the game that won't be available to IPX users. Please seriously consider the continuing harm to your company that could be caused by the ill will of this valuable community.

    • Okay, there is no way I'm buying Starcraft 2 if I have to pull my token ring network of these walls and replace it with wireless technology that has been PROVEN to cause cancer.

    • I hope there's some support for some crazy lag compensation technology like Quakeworld otherwise it's going to be impossible to play thru the interwebz.
