Why don't you connect a shotgun to your forehead dipshit.

push me to the edge
This is good for NEET robots like myself who can't afford new games or run anything made in the last 15 years.
I hope I can find some robots to play with later. I never played this game seriously so the kind of monsters who hang out on battlenet in 20 fucking 17 will kick my ass.

>>36420395
they're releasing an HD texture pack this summer, it's all about selling that
>>36420395
They do this with every old game, a lot of companies do it.
>>36420456
you also get the option to download brood wars expansion
>>36420395
They might release the base game then sell some smaller add ons for it later down the road. However it could just be a marketing ploy; release a beloved older game that (probably) has very little market value (since SC2 got released), thereby pleasing the fan base and (hopefully) increasing the people willing to buy your next game.

Literally Mexico and Brazil have shit internet that will make everyone on the server lag and yet they keep playing on US West for some reason instead of LAN or with bots
