Or more accurately, the way they either run, or don't.
10 years ago the minimum specs weren't actually enforced, so to speak - you could have a computer well under the required spec and still run the game. Nowadays it just says 'no. can't do it. not good enough computer'.
I'm really only ranting because of my own incompetance - I ordered a new video card for my mac pro in order to give the new starcraft a go, but I didn't fit it when it arrived and it's since made its way into the depths of my flat, never to be seen again... But I feel since my old video card has enough ram, blizzard should let me run the damn thing. If it runs a bit slow it runs a bit slow - you've presented me with the minimum specs, I'm not going to sue over a few fps.
It annoys me. I used to run pentium games on 486s all the time, and sure they jerked, but you got by. This is hardly progress. They've actually taken time to stop me trying to run it. Miserable people.
If there's a completely justified reason why it simply can't run, I absolutely stand by everything I've just written.
