In 2017, all people who like StarCraft in the world, they bought the game in that year.

When I see LOL game is popular everywhere, I know StarCraft is not for all. Example: it's not for Arto.

Starcraft Remastered is already free, but you have to pay for HD.

I cant find it in the link to see if its HD or not.

Basterds! I spent 15 dollars!

Just kidding, hopefully we get a new wave of players :D please treat new players with kindness i see a ton of elitism in public chats and public games that bash new players.

You dont have access to ranked games and the HD version without RM. I would imagine they give them the RM version.

I think I can get a couple friends to download the game and play a few UMS games. I don't think I will be able to get them to be permanent players since I had over a decade to convince them

Its still the remastered game you download even if its the free part. Then you pay for HD and Ladder access (which you already have downloaded).

You can clearly see this when sometimes HD gets disabled while you are still in the game. Once that happens it requires a game restart to acknowledge you have the paid version.

If it was two unrelated downloads this wouldnt happen, then it would always be HD-ON and not jump between them. But instead they implemented a sort of pay-check to enable HD, even while ure gaming. Really stupid but thats how it is from Blizzard.

This also means (i guess) that if you logout from the game in-game, HD gets removed until someone with HD logs back in.

Meaning you always download the full game with HD/Ladder included (5.73GB).

Well, this surely isn't going to bring any fresh blood but still OK. I wish if Microsoft will do something about it, if they touched this game we could have 2x2, 3x3, FFA ladder in no time.

I'm lost in the labyrinth of conglomerates, what exactly is Prime Gaming and why/how does it relate to Blizzard/activision/Microsoft?

Why would they do that?


Because I have faith in Microsoft and anyone in charge of BW is better than Blizz/Acti who fucked up SC franchise for more than 10 years...

Calling the most successful RTS a failure is quite a stretch. They were also the most supportive


Despite its success look at the field of competition in the genre, look at how they've handled WC3's remaster, we can be more than happy with what we got with SC:R in hindsight, but that by no means translates to Blizzard providing good support or anything.

Starcraft is a very competitive game which is also why its not dead yet. In such an environment toxicity/elitism is standard food.

Friendly/happy you can be in a casual game like 'golf with friends'.

What makes people stay away is how high skill level the average player has because of how long the game has been alive.

It is also why most ppl tend to go for sc2 instead of scr as their game because it got QoL features and in that sense makes it an easier game to play/learn.

It doesnt help that sc2 is totally free and scr(hd) not.
