What is Reddit's opinion of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I dont own the game, but like I said I did a (very) little research. On the blizzard website there are two prices, one is about ~$100, the other is ~$20 (60 days). The "60 days" part got me confused so I googled it and found these reviews:

> Much more serious is the NeverLettingGo-OnLineActivation requirement. The game will ask for activation during installation, which also includes signing up to BattleNet (and, yes, this means that even this expensive game never becomes yours to keep). But that is not all: a periodic OnLine confirmation is also required EVERY THIRTY DAYS, FOREVER. You can play offline but no more than a month between re-activating.

(my mistake, not 3 months, but 30 days)

A few other sites confirmed that you have to link your game to a battle.net and even If you wanted to play offline, you would have to play as a guest but would still be required to activate once a month.

Maybe I was trolled by these reviews... I dont know.

Yo dude, do not stress out! People commenting are just trying to help, but most people are reasonable and will not get offended if you can't reply to everyone (those who get mad are dicks).

The LAST thing you need is obviously stress. StarCraft 2 is a really fun strategy game. You can pick up a beta key (a code that will allow you to play the game before its July release date) by preordering the game at certain vendors, like Amazon and GameStop.

I also recommend watching a really engrossing DVD series. Try Firefly, Angel, Buffy, The Wire, Rome, Lost, etc. You can get Firefly and Rome off Netflix streaming, I believe.

Check it!

I'm not sure if it's because it's on sale or what, but SC2 seems to be $47.99 on Amazon right now:

This is now advertised on Amazon's Starcraft 2 product page.

Build additional pylons.

No I preordered several weeks ago. It was a different e-mail. The page for the game says: >The code will be emailed to you within 5 business days after you place your order.

Same shit happened with starcraft II http://www.amazon.com/Starcraft-II-Wings-Liberty-Pc/dp/B000ZKA0J6 People started to band together to try to offset it though.

The original list price of SC2 was $59.99. Foxtrot 56 was saying that some places will do sales for $15-20 off. I was agreeing with him on that claim. Many stores had SC2 at $39.99, a $20 discount, within weeks of the release. In fact, many people picked the game up for rather cheap a few days after release at Target. The point he was making in his post was that if he waited a few weeks for a price drop, he could pick up the game at a highly discounted price, which is almost assuredly correct.

Also: Amazon $49.99. If you're buying a game from Best Buy or Gamestop, you should expect to be overcharged. Games from 5 years ago still sell for $35-50 at GameStop.

Starcraft 2 is $40.00 today. Tomorrow, it goes back up to $60. You'll be paying $20 out of pocket but... IZ SUPER GUD DEAL

Really? Starcraft 2 is pay to win? Really?

It's not a free to play game, it's pay to play in the first place (you know the standard model?). Everyone is on the same footing and no one can pay any money to get more power. For Starcraft 2 to be like AoEO it'd they'd have to charge $20 for access to colossi and carriers. Then it'd be pay to win.

Oh and what's this? Is it a free trial? Why yes, it is.

Edit: And shock! $49.99
