Blizzplanet has a
clarification from Blizzard, who say that Activision CEO Bobby Kotick's comments
about the potential for ads for StarCraft (
story) do not
actually reflect plans to place them in the RTS sequel. Apparently he was
referring to the potential to put ads where they already exist according to
their explanation:
We have no plans to have in-game advertising in
StarCraft II. We believe Bobby was actually referring to Battle.net, which has
always included ads
