StarCraft 2 Sells 1 Million on Launch Day - briefly
(hx) 09:58 PM CEST - Aug,03 2010 - Post a comment / read (14)
Well, apparently Blizzard sold 1 million units in the first 24 hours that the game was on sale, and 1.5 million in the first 48 hours. According to GameStop, this was its biggest PC launch since World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

Like I said, in Korea and Asia ranking in #1 in sales. Those fucking people make money playing this game. Wow, who cares if those zipperheads have a new source of income. :roll:

Note this line..
"More than 8,000 stores throughout the world opened their doors at midnight to celebrate the release, "

I've seen a million boxes of SC2 at the stores and I've never heard of anything of it being sold out anywhere.

So I re-itterate with my first statement of this post.

quote:

We have a list of known bugs that will affect StarCraft II's operations.
* A language pack error may occur under certain conditions.
- Potential Fix â€“ Ensuring your system clock is correct can help resolve the error.
* Players can send voice but do not receive voice in game on Windows 7 machines with Realtek HD Audio sound cards when the Output Device on the Sounds Menu option is set to the Speakers.
* Sound does not play properly on some hardware set to 7.1 sound on Windows Vista/Windows 7.
- Fixed in patch 2.
* Changing the OS speaker mode on Windows Vista or Windows 7 while the game is running causes all sound to stop
* Players that are attempting to download or install to a Hard Drive using the FAT32 file format will be unable to download or use the digital installer.
- Workaround â€“ Download or install the digital client to a NTFS formatted hard drive.
* Mac version 10.6 â€“ Occasionally a crash is occurring with Nvidia drivers.
* Mac - Using a USB headset will drastically lower in game FPS.
* There is a chance where multiple graphic issues may occur for units, structures, terrain, and transmissions.
- This tends to be one set of objects (like a supply depot) or level of terrain where textures are swapped or look a bit psychedelic. It doesn't affect the whole game screen or cause any other visual oddities.
* Galaxy Editor - Terrain editor lags when dragging the mouse around on the map.
* Galaxy Editor - Changing certain values in the Galaxy Editor is causing a crash while in detail view.
* Graphical corruption can occur when Paged Pool memory gets low.
- Potential Fix â€“ Close unnecessary background applications and restart client.

"tom watch your mouth.

duuude chillax :) nothing wrong with what Tom said, you assume a lot to think he is actually racist to Asians, perhaps you're taking it too literately... he was just being over dramatic on Starcraft/WOW's popularity over their for extra effect. And I'd rather have freespeech and heavy swearing that doesn't/ and shouldn't get taken so offensively especially by those who just step in as so called Moral authority figures(you make it sound like you're Korean or Asian and what Tom has said offends you or should offend those people?). You make more of a big thing about other people not being Politically Correct and accurate in what they say... its the actions not the words that should be watched. You're only helping those nutjobs that control country's when you fall into enforcing their bullshit or wanting others too. It doesn't actually make anything better just worse.

Zipperhead is a derogatory term about asians, but if Clint Eastwood can say it in Gran Turino, then come on. :D

Actually, yeah I've heard it in a lot of movies. Never really used it until now. I probably shouldn't have. I'm not racist at all actually. I'm Canadian, we aren't racist, are we darknothing? I work and live and have lots of friends in a country with people of all ethnic backgrounds.

Wow, can't believe Koogle actually defended me. Thanks Koogle and I have to agree with what you said. (me starts pinching self to make sure this isn't a bad dream). Ow. Anyhow, I fail to see how it's worse than the F words and ya, who the hell made this guy some kind of moral authority eh? :roll: C'mon man.. grow a pair (I just saw nigga somewhere on this site without your condoning comments on it..)

Anyways a hilarious thing last night, my whop neighbour.. oh oh, is that derogatory?? :roll: (Nah he's a really great friend of mine, my neighbour, and I'm just pissing off the self appointed Moral Police here) Anyhow he bought StarCraft II yesterday and then realized that his customer at the shop misinformed him that it was a really good adventure game. So he brings it home, actually starts looking at the box and realizes it's a strategy game. Tells me he doesn't have time for this shit, he just grabbed it off the shelf without looking fully at it and then gives me the game. You like RTS don't ya. I just stared at him for a few seconds. I was thinking of saying, I don't want that shit but instead I took it off him. WTF and he didn't want money for it either! I offered him $20 but he refused. LOL! I played it last night and actually, it's better than the beta. Well movies are decent. I'll play campaign and shelf it.

i'll admit when i'm wrong. my bad.

I didn't know Koreans were a race.

Baconnaise> I didn't know Koreans were a race. Are you smoking something? Grab a dictionary. :wink: Cut down on the spread dude. :roll:

What you're really saying is you bought the game despite criticizing it? Yea it's not bad for a campaign and the movies are excellent. They do seem to be adding some ME2 DAO type of elements into their RTS.

Hey btw I'm italian and I'm offended! Seriously though my layers of fat prevent me from feeling any human emotion.
