Current Events > Why is battle.net so goddamn terrible?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why is Blizzard in general so shit at designing stuff for PCs? I thought this company was supposed to be knowledgeable with PCs.

First problem: battle.net wouldn't allow for installation on a different hard drive. It defaults to C:\ and gives no option to install to a different location, unlike every other game I've ever installed. I have absolutely no space left on C:\, so that's kind of a problem trying to put anything on there.

Then I tried to install StarCraft 2, which seemed to install okay, but after trying to run it, it needs to update for some reason, then claims I have no free space to do that with. I uninstalled StarCraft 2, and now I'm trying to re-install it, but all I get is the "update" option, like as though SC2 is still installed, which it isn't. I have 30GB of free space now, thanks to uninstalling to SC2, but for some reason, I can't re-install it. And when I do try to install it again, I again choose my alternative drive, which worked before, but now battle.net is saying there isn't enough free space, when apparently there was enough before. I think what's happening is that I'm telling it to install to D:\, but it just ignores that and looks at the free space on C:\.

This thing is such an awfully designed clusterfuck. Jesus Christ, fuck this battle.net app, just let me install where I want it to, and don't have a glitchy fucking app tell me there isn't enough free space when there clearly is.

I think they have people who were awesome for like... 2002 and that is all they know and won't let people who are more educated actually move up.

Plus you know, Blizzard chases away all the good people with their incessant sexual harassment and just being garbage.
