Given that all Blizzard games have been cracked and emulated so far this one won't be an exception.

Admittedly I haven't looked into it to any large degree, but afaik, there is still no working emulator for multiplayer Starcraft II. They've got the singleplayer working, but it was designed to be playable offline, so that's not really relevant to the discussion.

I won't deny that if there'll likely be efforts to make emulators, but I wouldn't go so far as to guaruntee their success.

I don't think there was much demand for it . Most of the SC community stuff is based around the official tourneys and whatnot. D3 is basically co-op based MP so my assumption is that there will be a lot of small communities wanting to run their own emulated battle.net servers where people can play games together and whatnot. It will take a long time to pull off though, many things like the AI routines and item drops now depend on server function returns.

Anyway not going to bother taking a day off work for this, seems silly when I can just wait a day or two to get a smoother play experience. There will likely be server queues and downtime on launch day so meh.
