StarCraft II

Blizzard has just drop-kicked South Korea’s GDP into the toilet with its weekend announcement of StarCraft II.

(When I was at Blizzard, the company had sold enough copies of StarCraft in South Korea for one person in nine to own one, although many of those copies were for cybercafes. I can’t think of a game with comparable success in America.)

Not surprisingly, the StarCraft Battle Chest, which includes StarCraft, the Brood War expansion (the team lead on that, incidentally, was Rob Pardo, who went on to lead Warcraft III and World of Warcraft) is back to #20 on the videogame sales chart at Amazon.com. Heck, I’m probably going to get it, since my complimentary copy that I got when I was hired there eventually found its way to my brother-in-law’s house, and has never been installed on my current computer.
