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.... | ||

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. | ||

If you've ever seen Korean MVs, you'll see that half the 19+ material is like lol worthy. | ||

The average American child is all over their consoles and don't really know how to use a computer. If a child is good enough to figure out how to use a computer and learn the complex game of Starcraft, unticking a box is a walk in the park. | ||

I remember my mom not letting me play Doom II when I was a like 9, that sucked. I didn't need the violence, but I at least would have liked to be able to play. | ||

An enhanced violence feature. a DT cuts a marine and he literally explodes and way more blood than possible in one human stains the map for the entire game. | ||

Right. Because they haven't been exposed to say...Showtime or HBO by then right? I don't agree to this whole bubble thing people have with kids. Once they hit middle school good luck with hiding anything from them at all. Anyway the fact that some marine just got destroyed by a zergling and exploded in blood isn't going to traumatize some kid anyway. | ||

Unless the child has mental problems which usually are developed because of dysfunctional families or some form of abuse not by seeing people be blown up in a game or movie or anything. As long as the father explains to the son that it's all virtual and unreal and he shouldn't go do that to his peers, I see no problem. I learned to shoot at a relatively young age as well and am proud to say I never killed anyone in cold blood because of anger or anything like that, I suppose MANY others here grew up with the same stuff I did and are not killers. | ||
