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? KeSPA has to listen to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism also. yeh big conspiracy going on here. &_& | ||

I hope Blizzard hits two birds with one stone here, as otherwise it'll delay the release of SC 2 in that censorship-heavy country for at least a year. Probably not. If they think SCII has some hidden anti-communist propoganda, they'll censor the entire game itself, but otherwise China doesn't give enough of a crap. | ||

The marines are clearly full of oil, despite looking like people on the outside. The sheer idiocy of moral crusaders just astounds me sometimes. the germans have this problem since a long time and it seems that switzerland gets hit by them too in the future. its a shame. | ||

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. It was never a question of whether or not the youth of SK could get a hold of the game or not. People would get it no matter what rating it was. The problems lies in the A rating preventing tv coverage from happening and ruining the popularity of SC2 and kespa attempting to "cockblock" blizzard from getting Sc2 going in Korea, where BW was their only cash cow and they couldn't profit from SC2. | ||

I mean seriously, some kid playing world of warcraft is going to put a talent point in lava holocaust or whatever and then notice that omg the icon is a scorched skull! DESTROY! DESTROY! MUST GO ON KILLING SPREE! I just don't see how to whomever pushes changes like this through it makes sense that sure, it is fine that starcraft 2 is about killing the other guys army, as long as the blood is not red that shit is over the line. So death is fine, red blood is not. You basically want to teach kids that murdering someone with a knife which leaves icky bloodstains is bad, instead you should make sure to use electricity or poison when you kill someone. | ||

The worst one in America is probably the drinking laws, no drinking or going to casinos before 21 or something? I mean honestly does anyone even follow that? People like me laugh at this when we are happily drinking and gambling here at 18. I mean honestly 18 years old being legal drinking age is still really high. Laws and regulations are put in place to show that the governments at least cares about stuff like that. Don't judge censorships/product ratings in other countries, every country have their own traditions. | ||

I stopped playing TF2 when they patched it so you cant bloodpatch the german version anymore. Soooo utterly stupid. Made the game horrible. I kinda think black blood is cool tho And its not too big of a deal. I bet you can still get the english version pretty easy if you are an adult. I think blizz did a good job here. | ||

The article goes on to say that Blizzard is considering releasing a separate adults-only version of the game with all of the offending content intact, but a decision has not yet been made. Yay for separate offensive material! But in all seriousness it makes starcraft II sound like such a dirty game @_@... | ||
