StarCraft II Available to Download TODAY

While Blizzard originally said that StarCraft II and future Battle.net titles will be available as physical boxes before they were available on Battle.net as digital downloads, it seems that has now all changed. You can download your digital copy of StarCraft II TODAY, ready for install on 27nd (but not before).

Hehe, almost a bummer I got a CE preorder... Buying two boxes perhaps? :)

Djorgo5067d ago

I wish they could just let any person who will have a valid key download it. What's the problem, really?

Leord5067d ago

Well, basically, if they let peopel with discs install, then everything will go boom.

Um, no, I have no idea why they do not let that happen....

Porco5067d ago

Yeah, then everyone would have it on their hdds, so no delay in DVD reading. Excellent.

Djorgo5067d ago

Yeah, but sorry guys, no such luck :)

Blacktric5067d ago

They are already doing it with Diablo 2, LoD and Starcraft. They are going to do the same thing for Starcraft II after it's launched probably.

That way I won't be worried about it being in Polish lol.

Djorgo5067d ago

Is everything force-dubbed to Polish? Nobody will sell the international copies?

King Klear5067d ago

Wow... that's cool. I should probably start saving already...

Djorgo5067d ago

Dude, it's not that expensive ;)

Terrice5067d ago

Had me excited there for a second, thought we could start downloading it already!

King Klear5067d ago

You can, you only have to wait till release to be allowed to install it...

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead19d ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

peppeaccardo19d ago

Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!

rlow119d ago

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.

PRIMORDUS19d ago

Not enough drain them for more, fuck Blizzard POS company.

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.

kythlyn40d ago

Microsoft needs to be guiding Blizzard to be what it USED to be, not allowing it to continue to be the greedy bastardization of itself that it has become.

XiNatsuDragnel42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.

Rynxie41d ago

They will never be old blizzard. Most of all the OG's left from developers to those on the top (even some decision making folks left).

Vits42d ago

Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.

ApocalypseShadow42d ago

I was about to say this. How can they be blizzard when they're no longer blizzard from yesteryear?

blacktiger41d ago

Rare was the thing I lost heart

victorMaje41d ago

Exactly. Blizzard hasn’t been Blizzard for a long time.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Knightofelemia42d ago

Blizzard is not the same Blizzard like it use to be.

PassNextquestion41d ago

Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...

Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.

thesoftware73041d ago

Wow, PassNextquestion,

You fully understand what that saying means, unlike some people on here who just have to say negative garbage talk.

When someone says, "Just let *blank* be *blank*, "they are just letting them operate how they operate.

It's pretty much how Sony "let Bungie be Bungie."

This comment section is full of outright haters, but you have to "let N4G be N4G"

GamerRN41d ago

This site leans so heavily in one direction...

BISHOP-BRASIL41d ago

I don't think people commenting are necessarily blaming MS for anything here, this is just collective longing for what Blizzard/Vivendi was before Activision's meddling.
