Because Blizzard is remastering these games and they don't want competition despite allowing 3rd party sellers like GoG to make sales (and more importantly, provide royalties) of these older titles. Proof that greed knows no bounds. And further justification for why I will not give Blizzard another cent.

Because Microsoft is remastering these games and they don't want competition despite allowing 3rd party sellers like GoG to make sales (and more importantly, provide royalties) of these older titles. Proof that greed knows no bounds. And further justification for why I will not give Microsoft another cent.

I fixed that for you because don't forget Microsoft purchased Blizzard and is pumping their body for every dollar it can get.

it's admirable of the GoG folks to commit to maintaining delisted titles, but that sounds like an "all cost, no revenue" type of proposition, and last I checked GoG was already not doing that amazing as it is...
