Blizzard finally admits that the lack of LAN in StarCraft II was due to piracy

The lack of a LAN feature in StarCraft 2 is something that has annoyed a lot of the game’s fans. And even though Blizzard was previously hiding behind words and excuses, StarCraft 2’s production director Chris Sigaty admitted that the company removed that feature – mainly – due to piracy.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 PC – Dedicated servers, mouse sensitivity tweaked, Steam bonus confirmed

Call of Duty fans, we have some good news for you today. According to Treyarch, Black Ops 2 will support dedicated servers. The company has not provided any more info than that, so we don’t know whether they will follow Infinity Ward’s and Sledgehammer’s example of disabling dedicated servers on ranked matches. Here is hoping that Treyarch will not pull something like that in Black Ops 2, as they were quite friendly with PC gamers in the first Black Ops (don’t forget that we got both dedicated servers and mod tools).
