Okaaay, so Blizz just said they are delaying SCII because they want to fix Battle.net to make it more like "Xbox Live" (i don't know what they mean with this)

So this just reaffirms my theory that they are planning to
A) Charge a monhtly fee to pplay on Battle.net
B) Add WoW to Battle.net and use the same currency (aka instead of WoW subscriptions you buy Battle.net subscriptions wich allow to play SCII, WoW and Diablo III)

It makes sense to me, mostly because of the decisition of not Including LAN. This way they will prevent people from using Hamachi or programs like Garena so the only way for people to play is through Battle.net

Or maybe they're trying to stop pirating by forcing people to get serial keys and that making people pay a monthly fee to play an RTS online is too dumb of a business plan for anyone except possibly EA to try.

IIRC, Blizzard stated that they will not make people pay to play on Bnet
also, it's a horrible business plan and absolutely no one will buy it if they do. an idiot can even see that.
and as far as the no lan, who the fuck really cares. you know a crack or workaround is going to be made 2 seconds after release anyway.
