As a longtime fan who has witnessed the evolution of gaming since the days of dial-up internet connections, I must say that the news about Warcraft 1 and 2 being delisted from GOG is bittersweet. The nostalgia these games bring back is immeasurable, but knowing they will still be playable for those who own them provides a sense of relief.
According to the developer Blizzard, GOG has shared that Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 will no longer be available for purchase starting on December 13. But don’t worry if you already own these games; they’ll still be playable for you!
GOG unveiled a novel aspect of their Preservation Program: allowing delisted games to maintain playability even once they’ve been taken off the platform. In this scenario, GOG guarantees technical assistance for these games, ensuring support during potential future updates to the Windows operating system that might impact them.
Furthermore, GOG is providing a modest discount on both games prior to their removal. You can secure a $2 savings by entering the code ‘SaveWorldOfWarcraft’ at checkout when purchasing from GOG’s bundle.
To fellow members of the GOG Community and gamers worldwide:

GOG expressed appreciation for collaborating with Blizzard on these game titles. Although the removal is disappointing, rest assured that all users who possess these games through GOG can still count on our dedication. These versions will continue to function seamlessly with contemporary systems, ensuring an uninterrupted gaming experience for the foreseeable future.
Last month saw the remastering of both Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2, each coming equipped with numerous upgrades. Warcraft 1 has been refined with improved controls and modifications to its user interface, whereas Warcraft 2 continues to offer multiplayer functionality and is compatible with legacy maps.
