Blizzard suddenly seems to want to increase the number of people playing Starcraft II.  The company apparently intends to get the game in the hands of more Battle.net users.  Players should monitor their accounts to see if they have been given the game for free.

The offer from the "Overwatch" developer is not a free trial version of the game.  This is the complete game.  It includes all of the content of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty.  It does not lack any features and is not limited in any way.

For unclear reasons, Blizzard is quietly giving away one of its popular and bestselling games.  The developer of Hearthstone is randomly gifting free copies of the game to players without much fanfare.

Various reports found online have been mentioning that the company was giving out licenses of the game to users on Battle.net.  According to a gaming website Gamereactor, posts on Reddit revealed that Blizzard is randomly offering free full versions of Starcraft II to Battle.net users without any clue to their motives or intentions.

People have been waiting for them to explain why they are seemingly handing out the game for free to random Battle.net users.  After logging in to Battle.net, Players have been finding messages saying that they have been given Wings of Liberty for free without any explanation why.

One reason that has been proposed that could explain the company's actions is that they are preparing to offer the core game, Wings of Liberty, for free to everyone.  Another is that the developer of "Overwatch" wants to get players hooked on the game so that they will eventually buy the two expansions of the game, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void.

Blizzard finally confirmed to Forbes magazine that their offer is real.  They are seriously giving out licenses to Starcraft II for free.

The reason they gave for this was that it was just one of a variety of promotions that the company was trying out.  However, Blizzard did not divulged the criteria they used to choose which user got the license of "Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty."
