Blizzard has proved once again that the PC gaming market is still alive and well and isn’t totally being destroyed by game piracy. Blizzard stuck true to the award winning formula that made StarCraft 1 a smash hit, and have made a game that has become an instant classic.

Of the total 3 million copies sold in August, 1.5 million of those sales happened in the first two days that the game was on the market, giving it the title of the world’s fastest selling strategy game of all time.

This isn’t the only game that has made blizzard a house home name for gaming enthusiastic, there is Diablo, Diablo II and highly anticipated Diablo III, which is due for release in 2011. They also run World of WarCraft which has gone down as the most played MMORPG in history.

“We appreciate all the enthusiasm that players around the world have shown for StarCraft 2,” Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime said. “It was important to us to deliver an overall gameplay experience that was accessible, balanced, and fun, and it’s been gratifying to see how strongly the global community has already embraced the game.”

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty was released simultaneously in North America, Europe, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau on July 27. With day-one sales topping 1 million copies, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty became the bestselling PC game of 2010 within its first 24 hours of availability.
