Blizzard is delisting the OG Warcrafts from GOG, but GOG says it's gonna preserve them forever anyway, hands out a discount, and announces new policy for its preservation program to boot (www.pcgamer.com)

I did not lose interest in 2. I simply couldn't get it. I think we had some demo versions but they just... didn't work. I have a functioning copy now, but I haven't played it much. It is a fantastic game.

When I first got WC2, I discovered that my 1x CD couldn't read from the disc fast enough for me to play it. The game would run for about five or ten minutes, then crash. I made it about half way through first campaign - 5 to 10 minutes at a time - before I was able to afford a 4x CD and play it normally.

For me, it is just that the game never ran. To make it clear, I don't think I ever had the WC2 full game, but the demo, but that didn't do much either. I remember being at a cousin's place who seemed like he had it, but again... it just didn't run. It seems like all the forces that be in the 90s just didn't want me to play that game.
