Source: http://www.etnews.co.kr/news/detail.html?id=201004190308 That's a shame! Kespa just got owned, again. Instead of trying to work something out with Blizzard, every move they made is a defiant act, this shows how greedy and stubborn they are. And no surprise Blizzard countered swiftly with a blow to their face! Now South Koreans gonna get a dumbed down version of StarCraft 2, one that suited for carebears. All the international students from South Korea I talked to, all agreed that it was a stupid move. No surprise Blizzard made a modified version, obviously they know there was a driven force behind the decision from their ministry. | ||

The artical focused on kids and the kids getting violent with their parents, when they tried to stop them from playing. they used big works and dramatic explainations including one about a 18 year old killing his mother because she was gonna stop him playing wow and then he went back and played the game. They had some other pretty graphic examples including one about a baby which died because its parents didnt feed it irl and just fed a baby in some online game. strange stuff. The government is going to introduce some software making the internet unavablie between the hours of 12am and 7am, i cant remember exactly. I think the ban may just be a way to try and stop kids from 'getting addicted' to online gaming. with the success of blizzard's other games, it makes them a big target. edit: the software isnt mandatory. | ||

It sure as hell aint gonna be blizzard. and the major companies with money will side with the korean companies before it sides with a foreign meddling in korean affairs. | ||

If they want something more whats stopping them from making their own leagues and broadcasts.. Oh right its a risky business that might not pay off so they want to leech of those who succeeded. Its like if you are an artist and the company you bought your brushes and paint from wants a cut on your paintings because they dont have the talent to make such paintings but wants to profit from you using their stuff. this quote is fucking beautiful. well said sir, well said. BLIZZARD will PROFIT when koreans buy multiple copies of the game for their pro gaming houses, their venues, their PC bangs. BLIZZARD just wants even more of a cut through the massive advertisement and industry Korea has. i hate KeSPA too, but here, blizzard is being greedy as hell. if they want to support e-sports, they should go ahead and finance their own with their WoW money. but they wont. its a risk, lost of money on their corporate papers and something activision will never allow. fuck blizzard on this issue, i support kespa. it is like the choice between obama and mccain back in the election. you know both parties are corrupt, but it is choosing the lesser of the two evils. | ||

korean: + Show Spoiler + 블리자드의 최신작 '스타크래프트2:자유의날개'가 게임물등급위원회로부터 청소년 이용불가 판정을 받은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 스타크래프트2는 알파 버전에서 15세 이용가 판정을 받고 지난 4월 14일 정식버전인 RC버전에서 '청소년 이용불가' 판정을 받으면서 정식 출시에 제동이 걸렸었다. 블리자드는 지난 4월 19일 입장을 정리해 게임물등급위원회에 이의신청을 제기하였으나, 4월 30일 재심의 결과에서도 '청소년 이용불가' 판정을 받았다. 당시 스타2의 청소년 이용불가 판정은 가상의 미래를 배경으로 총이나 칼등의 무기를 사용한 전투가 빈번하고 사체분리, 혈흔 등의 표현이 사실적이다는 것이 주요사항이었고 전투시에 사살, 공격 등의 명령등이 쓰이고, 일부 동영상에 비속어가 포함되어 있다는 것, 그리고 로딩 화면과 일부 캐릭터 화면에 담배를 피우는 장면과 로비의 배경이 술집이고 주인공의 음주 장면이 빈번하게 나타난다는 것이 기타 요인으로 작용했다. 이에 블리자드는 등급을 낮추기 위해 RC버전 이의신청 당시 반영하지 못했던 수정 버전을 게임물등급위원회에 제출했으나 7일 오전 게임물등급위원회 회의 결과 최종 수정 버전도 '청소년 이용불가'판정을 받았다. 이로써 스타크래프트2:자유의 날개는 3연속으로 '청소년 이용불가' 판정을 받았으며 한국에서 스타크래프트2의 흥행몰이에 큰 타격이 될 것으로 보인다. google translator: + Show Spoiler + Blizzard's latest 'Starcraft 2: Wings of Freedom' from the Game Rating Board found that adolescents who were not available for determination. In the alpha version of StarCraft 2 for 15 years under a ruling last April 14 before the RC version of the full server on 'youth can not be used' to the full launch backed ruling caught a braking.
