Blizzard is delisting the OG Warcrafts from GOG, but GOG says it's gonna preserve them forever anyway, hands out a discount, and announces new policy for its preservation program to boot (www.pcgamer.com)

They can update the remasters all they want and it won't make delisting the originals any less shitty.

Agreed. But I was responding to the claim that the remasters suck. With the recent updates, that's not as accurate unless the music is the most important part of the experience for you.

The improved controls, higher resolution, gameplay tweaks (fucking David Cross RC missions in the original were ludicrous), and restored lighting make a pretty compelling package. If the remasters launched in their current state they'd be considered excellent.
