Yeah, cause if you color it black instead of red, the kids won't know that it's blood. The marines are clearly full of oil, despite looking like people on the outside. The sheer idiocy of moral crusaders just astounds me sometimes.

Black Blood. Reminds me of the german version of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn.
That had black blood too. I feel for the poor Koreans.

This happens all the time, come on. Like when GTA was pulled off the shelves because of some titties? While the entire point of that game is to be a criminal, THATS what pushed it over the edge?
People will always shove their morals down other peoples throats, this at least seems better than an adult only game.

Black blood? That sounds pretty sweet . . . but stupid. Still, I suppose it's good for e-sports to be more open, but I wonder what it actually looks like in game. Hopefully it doesn't mess too much with visibility.

The German version of Team Fortress 2 has gears and sparks pop out when people die. They're robots! It all makes sense!

..And under-12's will play it anyway.

I found it pretty bullshit that a game can go directly from 18+ to 12+ with just several fixes. Most games that are 18+ can't go to 12+ without fundamental changes. It clearly showed that the initial adult rating was too much.

LOL, so what will KeSPA pull out next?

Assuming that KeSPA is behind all this, the censorship requirement is absolutely ridiculous if you see the variety of games that Koreans like to play. Plus, alienating yourself from the rest of the world (by creating an "us versus them" mentality and diminishing the image of SC2/Blizzard in Korea) will just disadvantage Korea for the SC2 scene.

SC2 is the next big thing, and Korea and KeSPA already has a LOT to gain from it. So why be too greedy and deny yourself anything at all?

Bet a fix will be there on release to put the content back in or to use another client to run the game but connect to korean servers or something.

I thought you'd like the nod to TL. All the SCII coverage has brought up TL a lot in the wider gaming media, probably increasing traffic here a ton.

Hmm... did Nal_Ra and Boxer influence the result?

(I know for a fact that both of them are, as of April 28th and onward, working with the Korean government for the rating system of the games)

Anyways, good to hear that SC2 is getting released in Korea. More Korean players = bigger scene around the world.

I've not heard about 15. It's 16+. That's what is written on my original SC+BW.

Doesn't make a massive difference what format it is released in.

If its 18+ then people under 18 will simply get an adult to buy for them or buy online and lie about age.

Makes no difference.

I'm not sure how it is in Korea, but, here in Toronto, every Korean I see is a social chainsmoker. Maybe they got depressed when they got here and picked up a pack of smokes.
