Starcraft II does work offline! Well, it was a trick to get it working. After you said that ABF I went online to figure out why I couldn't. Turns out I need to go into "guest mode" at least once after creating an account, and that act "activates" the game for offline play (though oddly it isn't as one of those guest accounts, but as my own, so it begs the question as to why I need that extra step).
