RE: original SC being required for remastered...
Starcraft:Remastered purchase just unlocks the options for HD textures and new graphics engine features.
The original game code has been patched with new graphical options.
The 'free version' gets all the other upgrades like the battle.net integration.
Gameplay is running on original and untouched source code.
I believe they also included HD audio, from the original masters. Everything sounds clean now!
Everything works on the new version, including classic map editors and old custom maps!
No legacy compatibility issues.
I think it was a good move by blizzard finally releasing the game for free without the HD textures, and having a lower price for the 'remastered version' compared to the old $20 battle chest.
