Foul language and drug use? what the hell?

It's still going to be in all the baangs and stuff and they won't check for ID there will they?

SCII is so anticipated people are going to play it no matter what.

Dont you have to login to the internet using an id in korea? So this wont be a case of parents just buy anyway and the kid plays. I'm sure blizz will go back and try to crate a less "obscene" version.

a lot of korean online games require you to have an adult ID to play (or play for more than a few hours).

I remember playing Aion on the chinese servers, and i needed to find a fake korean adult ID to play for more than 2hrs without it blocking the XP gained .

I'm Norwegian/Dutch. Just the awesome parts of them though :D

What I'm concern about this is the TV regulation it can possibly get, since it will also be considered an Adult-Only TV program if it gets televised.

Many Asian countries have rules that ban children from playing long hours because of internet/online gaming addiction which is seen as an epidemic that lead to delinquency among youths. This whole business with blood & foul language, though, is crap and smells of Kespa.

This is typical of these agencies. The first run through they pretty much always reject it so that they can just take a bunch of random shit out and then they've done their job protecting the children.

The only thing that better happen is the changes better not sneak their way into my version of the game or I'm going to rage.

no, because your logging in through Battle.net and battlenet doesnt require ID#. you guys keep thinking that people need to log in with ID# to access internet or something -.-

Only games that require ID#s to play are games that require you to initiate the game through a website and that is only because you require an ID# to create an account. the only time we use the ID#s is to create an account in the first place, and battle.net doesnt require a need for ID#s
