To the GOG Community and gamers all over the world:
We’re deeply saddened to share the news that Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and Warcraft II will leave our store on December 13th, 2024.
At GOG, we believe that games should live forever. This means not only preserving them but also making sure they remain accessible, updated, and enjoyable on modern systems—everything the GOG Preservation Program is built to ensure. Yet, despite our dedication and best efforts, there are times when not everything goes as we’d hoped.
Seeing these masterpieces leave our store is tough, but it also serves as another reminder of why our mission at GOG is so important. With that in mind, we’ve decided to update one aspect of the GOG Preservation Program’s policy:
Going forward, even if a game is no longer available for sale on GOG, as part of the GOG Preservation Program, it will continue to be maintained and updated by us, ensuring it remains compatible with modern and future systems.
We're incredibly proud of our work on both Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and Warcraft II, bringing them back to life after decades of unavailability and introducing several improvements to ensure the best possible experience, as close to the original as possible.
Although we’ll soon no longer be able to offer these games in our store, anyone who purchased them before they were removed will still enjoy the most compatible, high-quality versions, guaranteed by the GOG Preservation Program.
And because we’re DRM-free, you’ll have access to their Offline Installers, ensuring lifetime access to enjoy them whenever you like. This is what these titles—and you as gamers—deserve.

Thank you to everyone who stands with us in our mission to preserve video games. It’s not just about the games themselves; it’s about honoring our shared journey as gamers.
With appreciation,
The GOG Team 💜

Blizzard wants you to buy the remaster ha? No othwr way around it ? They didn't remove the OG version from blizzard store ? Guess they will do it too so they can make you buy that remaster GOG should make it free for a couple days.

If you buy w2r you will get old version, same for w1, so its not worth to buy old version

Yup sounds like no good deal to me piracy is the only viable option , you can get the BTL net version from GOG unlocked or combat edition both sound like decent options , was the remaster cracked? Get that too and you have the ultimate version no money for blizzard easy win for the player.
-
cracked version mean no multiplayer, only campaign but with cracked version you can change files and blizzard will not replace them

Isn't combat edition for MP? So whats the problem? Anything but reward blizzard for their poor handling of this game , and some people really may not be looking for playing MP so yeah nothing of value is lost.

there are still many people that prefer play in official game, than unofficial version
If I can pick offical with all stuff what community made vs unoffcial with all stuff what community made, I will pick official

Each to his own man , I would never support blizzard or buy their games no matter after that horrible lawsuit in 2021 about the horrible condition the female workers had to endure.
