Greetings Commanders, Cerebrates, and Executors,
We're proud to announce that StarCraft will be patched for the first time in over 8 years today. The patch will go live at 2:00 PM PDT.
When patching, please use the 'Run as Admin' option; it is required during your first client run to migrate saves and avoid issues from Windows system admin changes.
StarCraft will be free with this patch as well. We'll add a link here when the patch is live.

For anyone else that was confused by the wording, the SD version is getting a patch and it allows you to play the SD version for free and play against people with the remastered HD version on battlenet. The remastered HD version you have to pay for. I was wondering why Blizzard would even bother redoing the game or making it free but it makes sense now. It's sort of like retroactive DLC/microtransaction to get shinier graphics for something you probably already own.
