Edit: Uh, also couldn't've you put this in the simple questions/simple answers thread and also edited your original post instead of double posting? The last post does seem pretty concrete. I guess they must've changed their minds. | ||

"Play for free with improved matchmaking and accessibility, or upgrade to Starcraft Remastered to unlock 4k graphics,16x9 aspect ratio and more " cit starcraft.com Is this a decent source? | ||

Also even if the matchmaking is going to be paid only , I feel like I owe Blizzard these 15$ for a game that I've been playing for more than 10 years and not being charged for anything in the past. Stop whining. The game hasn't even been released yet and I see so many ppl complaining. | ||

They've announced it would be free for 3 months and ,when they announce they release,they force you to pay 15 $ for a simple matchmaking feature. | ||

So they need to spend 15 $ only for the button "find a game"? @Mildcocoa: Did they realize the p2p issue 3 months after the announcement? | ||

The main site reported the MM to be free until today so ,yeah, I would like to play MM with the free version of scbw(that I bought like 3 times in the last 10 years so I don't know how much free for me) Furthermore: How would the many ladder systems impact on ladder population? We could potentially have iccup,fish,shieldbattery and the official blizzard ladder? | ||

Agree, i have probably bought about 5-6 SC:BWs through all time Just because it is free now doesnt mean it has been free through all time. even though it's only 15$ i think blizzard will lose a shitton by putting a price on it since it will scare away casual gamers who haven't played the game | ||

'You're correct in assuming that matchmaking will not be included as part of 1.18. It is currently slated to be available to everyone once we release SC:R' This is not announcing it would be free for everyone. | ||
