Blizzard: Battle.net will always be free

Recommended Videos

Every time any major news comes out about a Blizzard game, rumors always start to swirl around that Blizzard is going to start charging for Battle.net. Since I had never heard any official statement, I decided to find out for myself what the deal was.

I spoke to Chris Sigaty, the Lead Producer of StarCraft II, and asked him if Blizzard is, was, or will ever plan on charging for Battle.net. His answer?

“Battle.net will not be a pay service. By buying the game, you will be able to match and play with other people.”

There you go. Free Battle.net for everyone! (Who buys a Blizzard game.)
