They don't sell those games anymore through their store, which actually amazed me to a degree. Yet no sign on here or Steam. Why?

There are many people wanting to buy them, especially the WarCraft 2 Deluxe Edition. The only thing I can come up with is that they're doing remakes for them both, or just being downright idiots by sitting on titles which still would generate them money.

In before "its theirs they can do what they want" well if money doesn't roll their company and show them there are still people interested in old RTS'es, why simply abandoning the support for all but WoW and Overwatch?
Because you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Because they're fuckers, that's why.

Arthas? Thought you were dead?
Not sure. I don't work at Blizzard.
Time to get a new watch! No wait, that doesn't... to get to the other side? No, that's stupid too... damn it.
Ah bilt uh flyin musheen!

"Dad, what is drag clicking?"

Yet only youngsters play WOW, thinking here it started, when we old timers cry blood waiting WC4.

Dad, why must I pay to play games? :D Anyway, I guess their stance is RTSes don't sell anymore.

No wait. Wasn't there this SC Remastered and Nova Covert Ops? Ah, what a waste of money.

They released original Starcraft as freeware and made Starcraft II free-to-play.
They clearly don't care anymore.

I'd say they don't care about SC. Excluding a free trial in Wow I'm yet to see one free WarCraft.

Damn. There goes my rep :D
Still, they could at least make the games available like they did with Lost Vikings.

But the statement strikes me as pretty silly anyway. For one thing, it would sell on the Warcraft name alone, and even if they're not that fun anymore (I could probably agree about the first one, II I'm not sure) many people would like to find out for themselves. But most of all- the guy acts as if it would have to be the exact same game, with all it's flaws and inconvenience. Why? The remaster could mitigate or remove a lot of those issues.

But yeah, "amazing content for WoW and Overwatch" :P Couldn't they let someone else work on a remaster for those, if they don't have the resources to do it (cause, yeah, I totally believe all the money from WoW and hearthstone wouldn't be enough a thousand times over)? Just let some other studio do it, you'll take a large chunk of the profit and make money for doing nothing. How is that a bad plan?
