Why is Warcraft 3: Legacy a big deal?

Before Blizzard completely redeemed itself with the incredible Diablo 2: Resurrected remake in 2021, it had a generational fumble with Warcraft 3: Reforged in 2020. I was one of the "lucky" ones who got to review Warcraft 3: Reforged about six years ago, and it didn't take long to see why fans had review-bombed the Metacritic user score to an awful 0.5 out of 10 (the game is still sitting at a user score of 0.6 all these years later). I gave the game 3/5 stars, which, in retrospect, was probably way too generous. Warcraft 3: Reforged arrived with core issues. Features were missing. Campaigns w

Is Warcraft 3: Legacy really what it seems to be?

I haven't yet had a chance to jump into the new Legacy version of Warcraft 3, but there's plenty of chatter on Blizzard's forums regarding its state. As one user, Kiezel, points out, there are still some ongoing issues. Some are asking why the Warcraft 3: Legacy download size is 6.25GB when the original patch 1.27 was less than 2GB. Another user wonders why Blizzard didn't use patch 1.31, which was also pre-Reforged. Patch 1.31 was 64-bit and added several new features, whereas 1.29 is 32-bit. This excludes it from running on Mac.

What is the highest number of hours you have in any given game, according to Steam?

I don't know where to look that up, but I do know that the highest number of hours I've got in any game ever is World of Warcraft. I was such a fan of that game when it first came out. For the first two years [after it] came out I was totally into it every day, practically. So I imagine there's at least 1,000 or more hours in that game … I played all the original expansion packs that came out. I think it was around level 80 when I stopped playing. EverQuest was big before WoW and I had friends who played it, and I watched them play. It just seemed really difficult. You were heavily penalised w

Will Blizzard respond?

I've reached out to Blizzard to see if they want to comment on this, but I figure we might see some kind of communication from game directors Ion Hazzikostas or Holly Longdale up on the World of Warcraft blog before long. The backlash is growing, and major WoW YouTubers are probably editing videos to release as I publish this. It's poor timing for me too, as a Brit, considering Blizzard just increased the subscription price here by 10%. These have all been an on-going issue now for some time. Whether it's crazy balance issues with different classes, gameplay-breaking bugs, transmog features go
