In a tale as twisted as a Shakespearean tragedy, Blizzard has once again found itself entangled in scandal, this time involving the delisting of the iconic Warcraft and Warcraft 2 games from GOG. As if that weren’t enough, the gaming giant had the audacity to launch their own versions of the games at a steep price, leaving many scratching their heads at the capitalist greed on display.
But fear not, for GOG has emerged as the valiant hero in this narrative, refusing to be bullied by Blizzard’s actions. Quoting the legendary Twisted Sister, GOG has declared that they will continue to offer the games to all who have already purchased them, defiance at its finest.
In a move that can only be described as a bold gesture of rebellion, GOG has initiated a sale for the two games before they vanish from the digital shelves on December 13. By using the discount code MakeWarcraftLiveForever, players can knock $2 off the price of the games, bringing the total to a mere $15 for both at GOG.
While Blizzard remains silent on the fate of the titles on their own storefront, GOG’s versions boast enhancements worth noting. With improved multiplayer connections and a visually stunning display on modern monitors, these versions may very well surpass their counterparts in quality.
True to their reputation as guardians of game preservation, GOG has demonstrated their commitment to ensuring that older titles remain accessible for generations to come. By enrolling Warcraft and Warcraft 2 in their Preservation Program, GOG promises players the opportunity to enjoy these beloved classics long after they have vanished from other platforms.
The noble act of providing DRM-free, everlasting access to these games not only solidifies GOG’s standing within the gaming community but also serves as a beacon of hope for players seeking to own a piece of gaming history. In a world plagued by ever-changing digital landscapes, GOG’s promise of eternal ownership is a welcome reprieve, a reminder that some treasures are truly timeless.
