SC2 is sub based or something? Whats stopping them buying a cheapy WoW account, activating it for 1 month then never playing it again?bonafidetk
They can only play SC2 for free as long as the WoW account is active. So in reality, they're charging a monthly fee for the option to play WoW and SC2.

Ah so because of Battlenet they have total control on if you can play SC2? Kinda sucky really.
*phew* With a title like that I honestly thought for a moment that Blizzard had lost its business sensibility or something in what would be one of the most profitable markets for SC2.
Yeah they have to have a WoW account in order to get it for free, which is basiaclly blizzard and Activision trying to make more money off of people by telling the only country whose national sport is Star Craft in order to have them sign up, its pretty rotten imho but then again anyone stupid enough to set up a WoW account to play a 60 dollar game deserves to be taken advantage of.
This just shows that World of WarCraft is very weak in Korea. Sure, lots of people play, but it is really outdated compared to the flashy new MMO's that roll out every month. Aion might be a flop here, but it is rocking on over there.
Aion is horrible it was the 1st and worst MMo i have played the grinding was terrible and the game wouldn't let you fly were you wanted it was jsut so boring grinding jsut to see teh stroy progress uugh.

Which I don't get. I guess Koreans really love PvP :? Aion would have rocked if it had more raids.
I don't play WoW anyway. I also wonder if that applies to the campaign portion. I think a certain IGN writer also needs to look up the definition of "free." It's free...if you're already paying them money. :P. Well, that's probably how Blizzard is promoting it, but usually when things are promoted as "free", they are, in fact, not actually free.
Blizzard is not charity group, they never give anything for free. If it has "Free" sticker on it, then you have to sit down and suspect what the catch is. This applies to any marketing tactics out there. If word "Free" catches your eyes, be aware.
by the way, the title is so misleading, Koreans get starcraft 2 for free if and only if he/she has WoW account active. Meaning monthly fee has been paid and accepted by Blizzard in order for that player to play Starcraft 2. and Since that person paid monthly fee for WoW + SC2, this really does not indicate that this product was given for free.
