Players will still need a Battle.net account, however

    Fuck Bobby Kotick.

    The only Blizzard game I wanna play again is Warcraft 3, oh wait, I can’t because it was replaced with a fucking horrible demaster.

      What’s horrible about it? And can’t you switch to original within rather game?

        Everything is wrong with it and no, you can’t switch. You’re thinking of switching graphic settings, but the old client as we want it is gone officially.

          W3Champions is the client you want.

            It’s still not the same. Classic bnet is gone for good and so is the old client.

    Oh joy another collection of games to ignore on steam because they will require a second launcher anyways.

      No it will not require a second launcher as even stated by Mike Ybarra (president of blizzard) on twitter. https://twitter.com/Qwik/status/1681720303389667328

      It will require a battle.net account tho.

    Haha finally conceding to things gamers have wanted for years once they’re running out of options because of everyone hating them for being a horrible company (horrible management). No thanks, I’ll continue to boycott every one of your products for swiftly destroying gamers that dare upset china for mentioning the hong kong protest for human rights
