How did Blizzard ruin things this much?

Someone surrendered the source code cd instead of dumping it.

They didn't construct additional pylons.

I had just forgotten about this, and now that I've recalled it, I'm every bit as assmad as I was when I first heard it. Makes my fucking boil.

Just like that other fucking moron (another fucking reddit idiot, of course) who thought the best use of an original Xbox Dev Kit was to wipe it and turn it into a useless underpowered linux box.

What? It's faster than it's ever been now, all I need to do is click a couple buttons and I'm in, opening up the game from the blizzard app logs you in automatically.

That's because additional supply depots were required.

I like how that faggot came up with all these excuses, saying he was afraid of legal action and shit. He could have easily released it via an anonymous, protected source where it could never be traced back to him (assuming Blizzard would even pursue legal action for a fucking 20 year old game to begin with), and he could have slept well knowing he not only owned a priceless piece of history but that his contribution would allow the community to flourish. Instead, he bitched out and traded in a once in a lifetime opportunity for a trip to Blizzcon and like $200 in plastic swag. What a fucking retard.

I'm pretty sure they needed more minerals.

Do UMS games play like they normally would on remastered? Hows the UMS community? Lots of games? or dead like free Brood War?

Feel like buying it but I don't care about the core game, just the UMS maps.
