I can't find where it says that SC1 goes free.

You must be blind "StarCraft will be free with this patch as well. We'll add a link here when the patch is live. "

Ok. I found that sentence. Sorry for the noise.

The only issue: it was not adapted to run either on high-res screens (retina display) or on wide screens

Check the forum post... Probably they will update the main website soon. I just installed the Mac version (sadly, it doesn't work well with my display)

Interestingly, when the game launches or exits on my mac, i can see my desktop flash briefly as it changes into and out of what looks like ultra-high-res mode, a kind of 1:1 pixel retina screen mode. I wonder if the game is rendering the oldschool resolution but then nearest-neighbor-scaling it to ultra high res for no good reason?
