    Utter garbage. Blizzard proves yet again that they don't understand anything and don't care about what fans want.

    RIP Blizzard. I loved you. I love you still. But you must be put out of your misery. The billions you make from WoW will sustain your corpse for a long time still, but we know, don't we? You're dead inside Blizz, a husk of your former self. RIP old friend, RIP.

    I didn't buy this game, I didn't want this game, and I haven't played this game. However, this game was forced upon me and replaced the game I did actually buy and purchase, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos. The fact that this abomination came out and screwed up the game I actually own is mind boggling. WHY!?!?!

    Activision/Blizzard should restore the original Warcraft III to how it was and

    Activision/Blizzard should restore the original Warcraft III to how it was and let people who want to play Reforged, play Reforged. Are they going to do the same thing to classic Diablo II if that Diablo II remaster ever comes out? That would be a loss as well.

    Activision/Blizzard went out of their way to preserve videogame history with WoW Classic and now they have corrupted Warcraft III. It makes no sense.

    The update really Focked up my wc3 I can't even play the actually game it just says "There was an error in handling the request" I feel like they said this to me. you stupid customer actually thinking you can play this game with promising ideas of stunning visuals. What an amazing game that can be turned to **** because of a single update. Warcraft reforged the update where you can't do ****

    the EULA is a hot piece of garbage that is incredibly transparent in how envious and vindictive stance. how dare you take away a creators rights to the work they create. i am glad to know that any racist or otherwise "offensive" content is now a licensed Blizzard product under their sole ownership.

    Trash game, please do not buy it, and refund it asap if you did. Blizzard did everything wrong and they've proven time and time again they don't care. This version of the game is not even close to being finished... its trash.

    A complete disregard to they're fan's and they creative liberty.
    One more step to the wrong direction. Blizzard was disappointing as Bethesda if not more.
    I think I will pass over 2 and shadowland

    Blizzard "apology" made me create an account and write this comment. Bye the company that I once loved.

    This game was made entirely for profit and literally to rip people off !!! I have extensive experience with blizzard. This company is about greed !!! They promised many features, but they didn't deliver on it. They even hired some company in asia to do models and animations and what not. And than they wanted to sell this crap for 30 eur.

    And they refused to refund game, at least until

    And they refused to refund game, at least until public outrage ! And maybe because fear of class action law suit. And they even banned people on forums, trying help to other people to get refund !!!
    They will censor their player base, it happened already in Starcraft 2 ! They abuse people and steal literally !

    Also you can see they will try to talk they wait out of it and almost never apologize, or not sincerely ! They worlds are empty ! I didn't even bought this game and i am blizzard fan myself. Because it is absolute garbage. They also deleted old game client, so existing playerbase is forced to buy this game.

    And they put into eula: they own custom created content, created in the game. Someone written you can't own idea, However it is tricky and dissuades people from the creating custom content and affects existing content as well. Some maps may be deleted, or who knows. And map makers will have to go to all trouble to remaking their maps. If they want to get credit, for example when applying for a job...

    This is new level of low even for blizzard. I implore you don't buy their product and skins ! This company is garbage, human waste and thiefs !!! Play path of exile it is f2p. Stop playing their games and boycott ! Don't PREORDER !!! Wait until game is released at least...

    Blizzard is really showing that they don't care about their fans or consumers whatsoever. This is just a cheap cashgrab. They can't even apologize authentically for lying to consumers. Better off with the original Warcraft 3.

    Worst remake ever, buggy, overhyped, unapologetic, feels like it’s all about the money and craps on the players, they took a game loved buy most and absolutely destroyed it.. I am so disappointed and sad

    There are no promised cinematic cut-scenes, no updated UI, no freedom in map-making. The last one is really important for me, because I spent more hours in WorldEditor than in the original game, when I was adolescent. Now I have experience in coding and 3d-modeling, but no opportunity to apply my knowledge to the game that I used to love knowing that all my efforts won't belong to me.

    Add here lots of lags and bugs, which weren't in classic Warcraft 3 and even in "Reforged" beta-version after its polishing! I successfully refunded my preorder. However, I didn't want to write a review before I saw the blizzard's "apologies". Apparently, we didn't have a right to expect a good game after their advertising, which is still on their official website and sells unrealized features.
    For $20-40 (depends on your country) you will obtain only new models, which are good in isolation from the lazy game environment and anyway spoiled by strange lighting and shadows absence.

    Blizzard has addressed some of the complaints and criticism hurled its way, and has promised to work on many of these issues. Naturally, one must ask why the game was released in such a state, especially considering the negative attention the company has garnered over the past year with the reveal of Diablo Immortal and the Blizzard/China controversy.

    In the end it’s worth noting that when viewing a remake or remaster what needs to be taken into consideration is the source material, how it looks, feels, and plays. That is, in addition to the work carried out to recreate moments, update visuals, and change any of the presentation. To do otherwise would be silly, a terrible game with a wonderful remaster doesn’t warrant a high score. In the case of Warcraft III, the inverse to that is also true. So, what we end up with is something in-between. A classic reborn, in a package that doesn’t warrant all that much in the way of celebration.

    If you set your expectations a little lower, then Warcraft 3: Reforged is a game worth of your time and money. Sadly, for many of us out there, we were expecting a little more.
