Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: I still remember, Billy.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. This is also good news for everyone who, like me, has wanted to play at some point in the past 20 years but hasn’t been able to because Billy borrowed your CD binder with the StarCraft disc and never gave it back. Once that version hits, the original will probably look a bit ancient by comparison - so they might as well use it to win over a few new fans, right?

So why now? The company is about to release a remastered version of the game in just a few months, its graphics/audio overhauled for modern systems. The company says they’ve also used this opportunity to improve the game’s anti-cheat system, add “improved compatibility” with Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 and fix a few long-lasting bugs. Up until a few weeks ago, getting the game with its expansion would’ve cost $10-15. Legally!īlizzard has just released the original game - plus the Brood War expansion - for free for both PC and Mac. Good news! Nearly two decades after its 1998 release, StarCraft is now free.

Have you always wanted to check out that StarCraft game you’d heard so much about, but somehow managed to go nearly 20 years without buying a copy?
