maybe blizzard wants people to stop playing WoW and move onto a more respectible game? | ||

but yeah, interesting move by blizzard. only digital copies eh? i wonder how effective it will be. i'm curious on the statistics on games purchases in korea based on digital copy and retail game purchases. is there a big number difference? do koreas already purchase a lot of their games digitally? and whats the number of korean WoW subscribers? | ||

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? No one reads. | ||

I still have my Broodwar Beta CD and I'll never chuck it just because it's such a cool memento. Sometimes physical stuff is just nice to have. Obviously most people in Korea disagree. I won't say this stuff isn't a surprise but I guess Blizzard know what they're doing. when it comes to revenue, they know what they're doing. not so much the actual game/bnet anymore @ past levels of quality) apparently =S | ||

I mean, there is nothing bad about more people starting SC2, even if they played WoW before, and the ones who wanted to buy the game as usual can still do that, and they dont have to pay a fee for bnet... as far as packaged versions go.. i personally prefer digital downloads, i have a huge pile of CDs/DVDs here, and im happy if this doesnt get more. | ||

It'll probably be a strange going from playing on regular adult version to watching pro matches on the T-rated version. | ||
