Koreans Get StarCraft II For Free to WoW Players
The rest of the world would like this too, please.
Blizzard is giving away StarCraft II to Korean gamers for free – sorta. The deal is that those in Korea who have active World of Warcraft accounts will get access to the full version of StarCraft II.
According to IGN, Blizzard's Chris Sigaty described the announcement as "a way of giving something back to such a supportive and skilled community of players."
Blizzard won't need any help in boosting the popularity of StarCraft in Korea, but packing it in as part of a WoW subscription could do wonders for signups for the MMO.
The subscription option makes even more sense in light of the monthly, and even daily, pass models offered for StarCraft II.
Clearly, WoW gamers throughout the rest of the world are feeling quite jealous right now.

valcron So instead of getting a single payment for 49 dollars they get a monthly payment of 14.99 or however much WoW costs (I forget) for those few who don't play WoW. Brilliant business move but hopefully people see through this.Reply
