The Blizzard games are getting delisted alongside the launch of two pricey remasters

Blizzard is delisting Warcraft I and II from GOG, the only PC gaming storefront the real-time strategy classics were available on outside of the company’s own Battle.net launcher. The move comes after the recent launch of its own expensive and lackluster remasters of the two games, but GOG is using that now-standard business move to double-down on its game preservation efforts.

” Warcraft I and II will both be removed on December 13th “at the publisher’s request,” GOG notes, meaning that Blizzard, now owned by Microsoft, is requesting GOG stop selling the $15 bundle of ‘90s-era strategy games, presumably because it just released its own remasters for $25. It’s the latest example of companies making it harder for fans to buy the original, cheaper versions of important games.
