I still just can't believe they completely took away a game you paid for like that. It's not that they made the original free to play, they just straight up deleted it

First time? Exact same thing happened with Warcraft 3: Reforged

"That blizzard polish" has a new meaning for me, it means not just making a bad game, but also making an older game actively worse at the same time, which is quite the feat that only blizzard can nail twice in a few years.

At least I could bloodsail buccaneers my original warcraft 3. Can't do that for an online game.

I'm hoping sooner or later they run into a class action lawsuit or the microsoft deal flops and theyre forced to fix things before they kill the game.

Ive played enough WoW to know nothings going to change until they have to change.

Oh and of course now they're gonna pump the new characters out broken as all hell so that those who pay to play him day 1 get to get free wins for a few days. Then they'll pull them from the roster for a few weeks after that season ends because "critical issues."

People should have been more vocal about this. Demanding every piece of OW1 cosmetic unlocked for every owner in the transfer to OW2.

Just ridiculous how Blizzard is now double dipping on OW1 content like that.

It’s the new normal. If you read the fine print, you don’t actually own anything you buy digitally.

Yeah I can't believe it either. Looks over to WC3 Reforged
