After a while, it'll cost more to pay for the game if you pay $10 a month. So, unless you plan on playing the game for exactly 5 months and never playing ever again, yes, they save a bit of money. Honestly though, it.. doesn't matter. Nothing's sad, except you not understanding what's going on.  | ||

Thats what i thought, which seems unfair = sad *edit* Allright i get it, my fault. Stop smoking weed before work kids. | ||

There was no announcement for "pro version with lan" thing or plan for starcraft 2 league. vs Previously rumored but now confirmed - Starcraft II Professional Edition will have LAN, but will only be available for televised tournament play in South Korea. | ||

If you want to buy SC2 you get unlimited multiplayer for free, same as always. The only difference for paying, as has been stated five times in this thread already, is for WoW players who get it free. | ||

"no lan!" "srsly no lan" "do lan while sharing 1 connection for 100 ppl!!" "2 versions of starcraft. one is called "professional", but you can use LAN ONLY where we want you too, because its to make love with korea" "who wants chat rooms?" "no chat rooms!" "chatrooms soon after release"........... "no unique IDs" "unique in some way now.." "NO cross region play" "NO NOT FOR NOW!!" "NOT possible, because of the insane lag, what will drop everybodyds game experience to hell. BUT if you BUY the game a second time, you actually CAN create insane lag and ruin the experience for everyone, because then you can play cross region" "ok ok, we fooled you again. x-region is coming soon. you only will have to download another client. its for free!!" ladies and gentlemen, this whole SCII release drives me crazy. i never saw this company acting soooo confused and inconsequent in any other release before | ||

But why would Blizzard give away SC2 to WOW subscribers for free? I wouldn't call it unfair at all if a WOW+SC2 combo subscription would cost, say, $16 per month, still much cheaper than separate WOW and SC2 subscriptions. Anyway, a smart move by Blizzard to get WOW players to try SC2 and vice-versa, bind customers to Blizzard and to ensure a long-term steady flow of money. | ||

Since most people wouldn't buy a supbscription for each of SC2 or D3 and the new game, making Battlenet2.0 have it for all their games will bring them lot's of money. Korea is propably their testing groud before rest of us will have this option. Personally i don't like this, but times are changing and also it sucks for Koreans to not have adult nor box version.

It is rather perplexing as to why it only applies to Korean WoW players though. Perhaps the WoW scene in Korea is not too big due to the focus on more competitive-based games - and they are simply using this to get more WoW players. | ||

Perhaps the WoW scene in Korea is not too big due to the focus on more competitive-based games - and they are simply using this to get more WoW players. Catering to casuals like this, as in in ways that in no way hurt the competitive scene is actually good for the future of the esports scene. Casuals make a big part of potential spectators of the leagues and such. I think its a clever move from Blizzard to make trying out SC2 even easier for a WoW player. | ||
