StarCraft II - The Ads

Saturday, 07 August 2010 20:28 Written by Jesse Lifshitz

warcraft2_bigIt is no surprise that StarCraft II is the biggest RTS launch in history, selling over 1.5 million copies in 48 hours, that is 520 copies an minute, or nine copies a second. A Game Stop executive proclaimed it the company’s “fastest-selling PC game since Blizzard launched World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King."  On a side note, sales are great news for the PC gaming market, which has been drying lately. And since PC's are more accessible, it's great news for many in the disabled gaming community.

With all great games come great advertisements. First there were the airplanes to advertise Wings of Liberty, and now there are the commercials. StarCraft II is huge in Korea; weekly tournaments fill up football size stadiums in the gamers’ Paradise. So why not have some deep commercials advertising the year’s biggest PC launch?
