Warcraft 3:Reforged also downgrades the original game:

Blizzard not only downgraded the promised Warcraft III: Reforged. They also altered the original game. If you owned the old version of W3, and you never bought "reforged" now you have an obligation to install a "patch" which alters the launcher.

The only way to play original W3 is now with an old CD version, but cannot play that version online, because that original battle.net server doesn't exist anymore.

The new TOS are a big middle finger to the mod community

"There’s yet another wrinkle to the story, as well. As USgamer points out, Blizzard has also updated some of its terms and conditions as it relates to custom game modes. It appears to be a defensive move to protect the company from losing out on the revenue generated by adaptations based on its work. You’ll recall that Dota began life as a fan-made custom map for Warcraft 3, and then transitioned into a multi-billion dollar genre all its own. The new language effectively means, as PC Gamer puts it, that all of your Warcraft 3: Reforged custom game modes belong to Blizzard, and that rubs the community the wrong way."

It is a mess. But it's no surprise I think: "You either die Silicon & Synapse or you live long enough to see yourself become Activision-Blizzard"

So they not only released a turd but also ruined the legendary original.
What a great way to end the first month of 2020!I can't wait to see the rest of the glorious fuckups the industry has in store for us.

I expected the same game with HD textures. Plus a fanbase storming to defend it, because its blizzard. Seriously, no one thought it could be this bad, even haters couldnt imagine a better way to fuck this one up.
But no, it was so much more. turns out the answer was to just remove features, so simple, im still laughing at all this.
And the memes...the memes are amazing. Totally worth it

I'm afraid to see how they're going to ruin Diablo 4.

every single ingame item will be owned by Blizzard and if you want to equip any of it you need to use a rental token. Rental token will be available in the blizzard store.

Blizzard initiated Stupid mode. As always late to the party (almost 15 or more years after). I don't see a new custom game mode coming out of this that will shape and create a new genre. There are free top notch game engines out there with a lot of assets available to get you started, why would anyone try the inferior blizzard mod engine to make a mode and then later pay royalties to blizzard?

What do you mean? This game is obviously a scam. There is no redeeming quality if you had the original one, besides the 4K support and the new models, and full price for that. In this case the score is a red flag of the shittiness of the product.

At least you will make a more responsable buy. The reviews are also mediocre at best so...
