This Korean version of the cheesy snack features the images from each of the four box covers.
The author of this book decided to pick up the unit phrases from the game (e.g., 'Ghost reporting') and use them to help teach the English language.
This graphics card incorporates the seal of each Warcraft III player race into the packaging design.
Since these Zerg themed shoes are only available in Korea, it's impossible to know exactly how cool you'd look wearing a pair of these babies... but, trust us, the answer is: Super cool.
These cute anime translations of the dark StarCraft art style have appeared on numerous Asian licensed products, including key chains and figurines
Starcnomics
Starcnomics is an academic look at the positive effects StarCraft has had on the Korean economy. A translation of the jacket summary reads:
"StarCraft Syndrome": It's more than an obsession with and devotion to the most popular game in Korea. It's the effect the game has had in generating new trends and socioeconomic changes. Economically, the syndrome created a new type of Korean industry or business that grew out of the needs of the times.
This book outlines the way in which the "StarCraft Syndrome" has led to a new business success strategy, a new business paradigm that combines the strengths of the digital age, cultural industry, new business models, and current social and cultural phenomena. At the same time, the book offers an unusual case study of gaming as a business model.
