Did we learn nothing from Warcraft 3 Remastered? Don't preorder, don't look forward to it. They have to prove it's good, we can't trust anymore.

Plus, you know, I'm not buying it because Blizzard is straight up ghoulish.

a friend told me I should get WC3 a few years ago so we could play together, so I bought it and the expansion from Blizzard's website, but never got around to playing it. after the remaster came out, I thought to myself, well, now's as good of a time as any to play the originals. then I discovered that anyone who had a copy of the originals had their copies replaced with a gimped version of the remaster, and you had to buy the remaster to remove said gimping. absolutely deplorable, I won't buy another game from them again.

I'm not going to preorder, but I'm looking forward to it - what they've shown is good, and I think they recognise W3R was a mistake.

Yeah, I’ll just play from the original discs.
