(Unlike, for example, Valve who doesn&#8217;t even try.) The bad news is that Blizzard has no fucking clue how to actually make their product compatible with [...]]]></description>

But when the two installers attempt to interact with each other, you&#8217;re left with an experience only slightly more pleasant than a lifetime of burning in hellish torment.

Of course, after writing instructions on how to remove a common virus, I should have realized my content-sensitive Google ads on the left side of the page would all instantly turn into scam anti-virus tools.
