I have to agree. Where I am, there are only two kinds of internet available: dial-up and satellite. I'm currently on satellite internet meaning I can't even play Diablo 2 with friends over the internet because all traffic that could be P2P is blocked. I have an hourly bandwidth cap. Basically it's impossible for me to play any game that requires an internet connection at home. However, I run LAN parties from time to time, usually about 6 to 8 people. How could we play Diablo 3 on my internet connection when there are 6 to 8 people connecting to my extremely limited internet?
And there's even the same problem if I were to go to a friend's place to play. Why should I be wasting their bandwidth to play with them when LAN play would be so much faster?
A lack of LAN play will definitely push me away from Diablo 3 until there's either a patch released that enables it or someone figures out a workaround.
