Blizzard epic failed at preparing servers running for initial launch. However, they were "epic win" at getting all of us to buy their game. They got our money and there's nothing we can do about it since PC games are non refundable!
Well they are and they aren't. If you open a game and read the EULA and decide you don't agree with it you can contact the manufacturer and they have to let you send in your copy of the game (at your cost) and then they'll send you an unopened copy (at their cost) so that you can return the unopened copy to the store you purchased it at.
Either that or when you send in the game they can issue you a refund monetarily in whatever form they choose. So Activision/Blizzard could "refund" your game purchase with a $60 gift certificate if they choose.
But since it's not possible to read the EULA before opening the product they ARE bound to either refund you directly or assist in your refund process if you don't install the game.
But once you hit "I accept" and install the game they've got you by the motherboard.

We're extra lucky in new zealand in having the consumer guarantees act which in simple terms means no one can sell a crap product and tell you to lump it and makes pretty much all eula null and void
Boycott Blizzard
I would advise to not start saying this. If they wish to do there products like this and people still play them even with the mess they will continue to. There are millions that do not have an issue with how they work it. So sadly if you do not like it then to bad. Those that bought the game knew what it would be like. If you say you did not well I have to say that is your own fault. I have no issues with the game at all.
Please note I aint brown nosing Blizzard am still peeved they stopped warcraft for WoW.

Just to point out... you can't really say that anyone knew the game would be a bundle of bugs before it was even released. Even those who played the Beta couldn't say that, since they weren't playing the final product. It doesn't matter how it's turned out.
It's not their fault for buying it knowing what it was like, if they pre-ordered it or bought it on the day of release before the bugs became apparent.
Boycotting Blizzard's a little childish though, whatever your reasons.

They should know cause this era's games are not 100% free of bugs. Even if nothing is found in Beta's. So in hindsight they should be in the state of there might still be bugs. To think a game 100% free of bugs is just dreams.
