I'm all for it, options like these allow for younger kids to get into the games, their parents can control the blood, etc, and their kids still get to play an amazing game.

So I wonder how the logistics are gonna work out with foreign/international tournaments. This change I think was made so that SC2 can be broadcasted (at least in Korea I heard), but what if its a tournament outside the korea domain, will they not broadcast it? Seems like a hassle.

I wonder if unit death animations will clear the screen faster. If reduced violence also makes the battlefield less cluttered then I don't see a problem.

I mean options are always good. It's not going to hurt anyone who doesn't click the box. They probably felt some pressure to add it in.

I am curious to see exactly what this entail in game.

As far as this making any difference for a country like China, I doubt that...
Even a child can probably figure out how to access the options menu and turn this off...

Lets face it, StarCraft is really not aimed at an audience too young to figure out how to use the options menu....

They will probably not have that option and gore will be reduced by default.

Yeah. But, if you remember a recent news article, SC2 got a Mature (or adult?) rating in Korea and had to take out some drug references and reduce the gore. I'm guessing they just added the -violence as an option in US/EU clients because it was already coded in so might as well put it there in case you want some little kid to play SC2... and not traumatize him with all the gore because he's sensitive to that kind of stuff after killing civillians in airports in Call of Bloomgears 4

I'm certain this also includes Germany, since they love to censor all violent games. As for Korea, they already announced that they'll be releasing an "adult" version as well, which is essentially the game as it was meant to be.

Pretty much anything in Korea gets like a Mature (Adult) rating. If you've ever seen Korean MVs, you'll see that half the 19+ material is like lol worthy.
