However according to a report from Korean-based Formos (and translated by Team Liquid) the game has been edited for that country to turn the blood from Zerg and Terran units from red to black. The total amount of blood has also been reduced and all profanities and scenes of smoking have been removed. That allowed the game to get a 12 rating from South Korean's ratings board. The story adds that Blizzard is considering releasing the adults-only build of the game in South Korea as well but that is not definite yet. The game is still set for a worldwide released on July 27.

Why does S. Korea care so much now? StarCraft 1 had plenty of red blood everywhere, both Zerg and Terran. Plus several Terran units were depicted as smoking. What's changed since SC1? Would S. Korea really try to hinder their national sport's follow-up game from releasing there? I would think they'd lay out the red carpet for any version of SC2 released there.Posted at 7:59PM on May 20th 2010 by RogueJedi86
