Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.33 | |
The primary risks in StarCraft II stem from its competitive nature, which can lead to social comparison and a sense of obligation to perform for teammates. The game's design, with potentially long matches and penalties for leaving, can make it difficult to find natural stopping points, leading to extended play sessions. While there is no stranger chat, the competitive environment can still expose players to some toxicity. The sci-fi violence is moderate, and some language is present.
