It says it's free for me. I think you're looking at StarCraft Remastered, which does cost money, but the original game is still free. Both versions are compatible with one another btw, so you don't need to upgrade to play with anyone using SC Remastered, and the actual gameplay is exactly the same, just with updated graphics.

Bro, SC1 is certainly frustrating and I will make no bones about that, but just like when you actually start learning LoL, when you start learning how to actually play SC1 it makes more sense and is way satisfying. But that learning curve is a bitch and absolutely no joke. Just trying to keep building workers, along with building production buildings, and then trying to actually control units while you're doing all of this, is god damn intimidating, and only the beginning of learning how to play, but when you actually start to get the hang of it (even just starting) it makes you feel like a badass. Even just beginning to learn is mechanically intense, but **** me is it fun.
