Yes. Lets be honest - for last 10 years people have been getting the game for free anyways, so it is good move by Blizzard to allow new players to download it legally and without much effort.

Do we know a full list of the "bug fixes" coming with 1.18? Is it anything that affects gameplay? Any ideas on what they're doing with their own anti-cheat or whether it will impact all the known launchers and stuff like that?

Just spent a little bit tweaking the image to be scannable. The QR code just says "http://www.starcraft.com". I feel cheated haha.

No. If you have the original purchased, it doesnt matter, it's now a free game next patch.
Remastered version seems to just be completely cosmetic, you can play the same game regardless if you pay for remastered.

Just popped a game against IA, and the first thing that came out, (fellow BW fans will tell me if they found this ok)
They could make the worker rally point auto-harvest on mineral no?
Yes this is a remove of one of the mechanics, but it's the same for all races, so this should be a balanced change.
I mean, even if i don't like it i understand the 12 units selection, i would argue to remove it if there wasn't balance problems, but still even i can understand this would change too much the way the game is played (although i played a bit with the selection hack (solo ofc) & it's still a mess to control & far from "deathball" but this feature?
I don't think the removal of this would "break the mechanical pleasure" you guys have on this game, and it could make the game a bit more enjoyable for a bit more of people.
Mechanics are part of broodwar balance, automining would effect the balance since you need to expand more with different races than other, also macroing while attacking would be too easy and effect the defensive advantage.

I guess I have to play back this game.
So so long time I haven't play !

Yeah finally a good decision. Hope all mechanics and design decisions will stay the same as in BW only with updated graphics. BW was a very great competitive game, yet highly demanding in mechanical skills.
Back to the roots Blizzard, best decision so far. Korea will love it.

gonna buy this day one! Looking forward!!!!!!

keybinding will ruin the proscene I don't think pros that have practiced for a decade with the original binds would swap them now. They also have insane mechanics regardless of how bad the binds are so I don't think they'll see that much improvement with different keys. We'll see though Of course they will, you understand how much difference it will make when you can clumb all the hotkeys? I think this will make hard times for protoss which is the least mechanical race, since mechanics of z and t will increase former BW pros still use the BW keybindings for SC2, so your argument falls straight up flat here
I don't understand what your saying. yeah of course BW pros used keybindings for SC2, just like they will use for BW:Remastered. And I think it will effect racial balance.

Having higher resolution and see more of the game on screen is not purely cosmetic.

oh wow! this is awesome Ô_Ô

Btw how fucking amazing is it that classic SD BW and HD BW are on the same client and completely compatible.
Pros can just keep playing with the standard graphics, but casters and broadcasters can join the same game in HD, so sick.
Playing SD vs HD, switching back and forth between the two. Crazy.

So to address the elephant in the room ... I kinda think this going to end any interest in SC2 in Korea? I mean competitive-wise, Korea will probably go full-SC:R

I like the changes to battle net and the ability to switch between the two modes. Really dislike the graphics though.
