"Digital Diablo III Purchases 'Restricted' For Up To 3 Days"

"And, yes, it's only 72 hours but that's 72 hours more than is reasonable."

If I didn't think they'd already long ago done so, I'd have said that Blizzard has gone off the deep end with this bullshit. So glad I didn't buy this game.

(EDIT)

And in this case, they apparently haven't even bothered to update their store yet to warn buyers that this 3-day restriction thing. What a dick move.

(EDIT 2)

Ah, and now they're calling it a bug. Riiiiiight. *eyeroll*

So why did someone at Blizzard confirm it as an intentional feature yesterday? I smell PR backtracking out the wazoo here. Besides, it's not like all of the other restrictions don't still apply.

"The Secret World final beta weekend open to everyone who registers by Friday"

Hmm, wonder if I should try to get in on this thing since it's apparently available to everyone who's registered now (and I've been registered for a while).

(EDIT)

Downloading it now. ¬_¬

I'll treat it like a "demo" rather than a "beta."
