The blizzard had media day for starcraft 2 today, and they have announced few things.
1. Starcraft 2 will be free for WOW players. While you have the wow subscription on the battle.net account, you can just play starcraft 2 for free. (so its not wow subscription anymore, its battle.net 2.0 subscription)
2. There will be no package for Starcraft 2, Blizzard will only sell digital download copy. the price will be around $59
3. If you don't want to buy package, you can also buy Starcraft 2 subscription, one day subscription will be about $2 and one month will be $10
4. There won't be Adult version (if you didn't know, they cut all the scenes and made it teen version)
5. There won't be collector's edition
*Edited* 6. There will be open beta "after" release date. (so weird, I don't think they can call it open "beta")
What do you guys think? I feel sorry for Korean. Well wow players will love this policy 
So many people wanted blizzard to announce the collectors edition for Korea today.. now blizzard took out the regular package from them.. Seriously, digital download sucks..
I know that package market is dead in Korea, but I also know that many people would still buy blizzard's game.
There was no announcement for "pro version with lan" thing or plan for starcraft 2 league.
*for people who couldn't pre-order collectors edition yet, walmart and bestbuy still have collectors edition.
original post
This is my blog that I just made few days ago, I will upload some strategy guide and stuff as well please visit sometimes
*Edited* people are complaining about 2 things
1. no package
2. no CE
Of course these are bad things for fans, so stop posting those "why people complaining?" posts :p

nar i kinda liked it, made me feel like i was right there in the korean air hanger :p
*your english is fine btw!

sounds like constant income for Blizzard.
Either way they want your money and want you to play WoW.
|
Sucks for Korea. That's what happens when governments try to regulate the video game industry.
|
Wait, is this announcement only applicable to Korea? I'm confused.
|
wtf?? so they just want to get in all the WoW players in sc2? Oh my god...
|
@MangoTango Yes, only for Korea.
|
I guess eventually we will all be paying monthly subscription for blizzard games.
Not saying if its good or bad, but it seems like that is what they want.
|
At least Stork will get to play SC2 lol... hopefully he'll play that instead of WoW even though he has a WoW subscription

yay EVEN MORE people that will benefit from the newbie friendly system that blizzard wanted to focus on! oh wait, never mind, they are korean...

What are you people talking about? How could this possibly be bad for Koreans?
If you want to buy the game ($59), you have unlimited access to battle.net.
If you want to play subscription based, you pay $10 a month, but don't have to buy the game. You can also play the game for one day for $2.
Blizzard donating ~600,000,000 won to the Korean Student Aid Foundation?
Free for WoW players?
Extra free open beta time at launch so everybody can try the game out?
I... I don't get it. Why is this bad again? Or do you guys just.. not read?
|
it's a smart move to pull wow players over to sc2, and at least contribute to the esports revenue.
|
would be cool if this was for europe too 
since all small game shops i bought my collectors edition from are out of business since at least a year, i will be getting the download version anyway.
btw:
