You honestly think KESPA would make a decision like this?
It looks wholly like a political move.

Can't say I'm well informed either but when KESPA and Blizzard's negotiations over the SC2 rights broke down people were really worried that they would use their connections with the game rating board to slap it with an adult-only rating, thereby dooming any form of televised SC2 matches. The fact that it's actually happened now doesn't immediately scream KESPA but it's pretty neat to see the speculation back then turn out to actually happen. KESPA or not though, it's clearly a shady ruling seeing as how there is no more gore in SC2 than there was in SC1. | ||

Modifying it will take more time and gamers aren't necessarily happy about paying for a dumbed down version of the original game. Also if Kespa is involved they would be doing what Kespa wants which Blizzard doesn't want to. | ||

It would definitely delay the game in Korea, a year is probably a gross overestimate though. They should do what Valve did for TF2, change stimpacks into a cheeseburger. XD | ||

Why all the censorship. This is south Korea, right? | ||

KesPA dropped the nuke but I don't think that the kids in Korea will care in the slightest. They will get their older friends and family to buy the game for them. Blizzard could even consider a digital download service. | ||

I have a feeling this wouldn't have happened if blizzard had given kespa all the rights they wanted with SC2. | ||
