Obligatory mention that ExoDos exists. Look it up.

Y'know, I kind of get why a storefront would prefer delisting when there's just a more complete or more "HD" version. I've had a friend buy an old version of a game for the same price as the "complete" version since both were up and he didn't check. Blizzard is obviously just trying to promote their remake, but I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

(I'd still prefer having options, though, and that option should be free because playing the DOS version of Warcraft 2 would likely help promote the HD version, as sort of a demo. That game is fire and deserves the love, too bad the execs are morons).

They did that with StarCraft. The original is free and the remaster is paid
