I’ve been feeling nostalgic and wanted to play StarCraft, so this morning I downloaded Battle Net as it’s free to play. After jumping through the most insane captchas to create an account I finally got the game downloaded. When I went to launch it, I noticed my account was logged out, and when I tried logging in it said my account had been banned.

Pissed off I grabbed a copy of the remastered version, installed it, and got it running in half the time it took me to setup a battle Net account.
