    Hmm, I have some nostalgia for these games, but I’m not sure they’re worth playing today. That said, I may want to play them at some point.

    Why can’t Blizzard stop being terrible?

    Online play has been broken for a long time for Warcraft 2 on gog. I complained like 2 years ago that they never sent me a code, and they said they were aware of the problem and were working on it. I complained again and they never answered.

    I’m all for game preservation, but gog is kind of a shitty company. They can convince me otherwise by having better customer service (or by developing a launcher that actually works).

      What’s wrong with the launcher?

        I’ve never used it because it doesn’t work on Linux. However, Heroic works just fine w/ GOG, and apparently the Heroic dev gets a cut from purchases through Heroic, so not being able to properly use GOG Galaxy isn’t really an issue anymore.
