Warcraft 3 Reforged - What The Hell Happened?

Until not too long ago, Blizzard Entertainment still had all the prestige that the developer had typically been associated with over the years. When Blizzard put out a new game, the entire industry would pause and take notice, and almost as a rule, these new games would shatter expectations and be met with rapturous critical and commercial reception.
Recent years, however, have brought a few blemishes to Blizzard's pristine record- and probably the biggest blemish of the lot is Warcraft 3: Reforged.
