StarCaft 2 / Diablo 3 will not support LAN

I just recently found out that Blizzard will not include LAN support in these 2 highly anticipated sequels. The reason for this move, Blizzard claims, is in an effort to, "safegaurd against piracy." B.net requires a CD key which is not so for LAN. It is basically a DRM of sorts. Even if we buy the game, we can only play it the way they want us to. Not cool Blizzard, not cool at all. It seems that they cannot learn from other's mistakes (Spore). While this isn't so much of an issue for me with D3, I am very disappointed that SC2 will be lacking this basic feature. As of now, I have decided to not buy SC2 anymore and am seriously considering not buying D3 either. Fine by me, I should focus more on making games than playing them! Uh... thanks?

The statements, "I'm up for that." and, "I'm down for that." mean exactly the same thing.
