The OKASANNOANARU-02StarCraft Twitter account turned up the heat on Tuesday, throwing shade at games with microtransactions and pay-to-win systems, likely alluding to the recent controversy over Star Wars: Battlefront 2.
SEE ALSO: EA's 'Star Wars' PR disaster finally pushed gamers into open revolt against loot boxesStarCraft 2went free-to-play Tuesday after seven years, allowing people to play the game's first Wings of Libertycampaign, multiplayer, and every co-op campaign (some only for a few levels) for free. The team took the opportunity to follow the update with a series of shots fired at other games that stop players from accessing certain features unless they pay up or play for hours and hours.

Over the past month, people who were excited for Star Wars: Battlefront 2have expressed disappointment that many portions of the game are locked behind loot boxes and currencies that either take dozens of hours or your hard-earned cash to accumulate.
Of course, Blizzard isn't exactly innocent when it comes to offering content for money. To unlock StarCraft 2's full co-op campaigns and expansions requires a fee, but it's a more justified one considering the game itself is now free.
What really gets under the skin of players is the pay-to-win model in which paying for abilities and upgrades gives a player an advantage in multiplayer, which is the case with the new Star Warsgame.
Although Blizzard games like StarCraft 2and Overwatchhave unlockable content, nothing you could unlock would give anyone an advantage in competitive scenarios.
