      Its simply a company that has gotten old, with people getting entrenched in their lead positions, professionals that might be competent in their corporate jobs but don't care much about game-creation and hiring second class developers to cut costs and simply the fact that the company is so big, it needs to cater to a much too large market, wich hinders creativity in their games design as not to put off anyone with certain features.

      The intention was not to remaster it, to begin with, it was just to avoid a future DOTA-level success gamemode from slipping through their fingers by essentially claiming ownership of all user-created content.
      they just stopped the flow entirely and not only failed to make a decent remaster, but literally killed the previous version.

Games I've made friends in, games where I could socialise despite being extremely antisocial (to the point I believe I might be autistic).

"I just want to play these games" Another tired reasoning, there are other games from other studios that will fulfill that gaming itch, you just have to go out of your comfort zone and look at the market.

    Key phrase is Blizzard disabled the original version of the game _on its digital platform._ Those of us who still have physical copies of the original game can play it just fine offline. Which is just another example of why purely digital media without offline backups is a recipe for disaster because you never know when someone's going to take it away.

      As an "advocate" of physical games, I agree. Digital is fine and all, but if you're on Steam, EGS, PlayStation, XBox and they don't like you for whatever reason they could easily take your digital toys away. You can't do anything about it as it's part of the ToS (company reserves right to terminate service for reasons they see appropriate).
