Blizzard likes to use the purchase box price as a deterrent to hackers. but if they promised free matchmaking and now they are changing that... that is bad. | ||

As WaxAngel said in his article, sometimes he forgot he was playing SC:R, which gives me great hope. I'm very happy how this looks even though I could go on about small items that bother me. The problem I have right now is Remastered required to MM... I suspect many people can't even remotely play SC:R and won't be on ladder. :\ | ||

Play for free with improved matchmaking and accessibility, or upgrade to StarCraft: Remastered to unlock 4K graphics, 16x9 aspect ratio, and more! So I don't know what's going on there | ||

I will point out though, that I'm not a stickler for graphics, whether it's games, movies, internet videos, or whatever. I'm sure there are gonna be some hawkeyed players out there who go "OMG TOTALLY UNPLAYABLE" and it would be a justified opinion for them. Anyway, here's the full preview I wrote if you're interested: http://www.pcgamer.com/starcraft-remastered-is-a-love-letter-to-fans-thats-faithful-right-down-to-the-bugs/ | ||
