Honestly though if they notice no one is buying the game. They will just patch in a LAN version or something. I wouldn't fret to much. Between them wanting to make money and the great possibility of there being a mod to make LAN work, it's only a matter of time.
I really have no clue why Blizzard did it, but they love the money, so for them to remove LAN they must have been sure it wouldn't decrease sales much if at all.
Well it's more about general public and not a handful of people. I'm sure they've done their research and wouldn't remove it if it risked them losing a generous amount of consumers.
Hrm, well I guess I'm just used to living where I do. Unlimited bandwidth and no internet downtime.
I'm sure there will be unofficial LAN support anyways.
Also I think it's perfectly logical they want to monitor their investment and the use of it. From a marketing standpoint as well as a security one. Keeping games online is the only way to do that.

Anyway that's just my two cents.
