Does this get rid of the stagecoach driving?

Sure, why not

If overcomplicating things is a concern for you, then just use let's encrypt. Running your own ca is a pain in the ass and probably decreases security for most people due to the difficulty of doing it correctly.

I enjoyed this one a lot when it came out. The levels can be kind of repetitive and the game is on the shorter side but the story is good and it's nice to hear the original actors.

If that was legitimately his goal then he should have kept the developers on that he got rid of, and just retasked them.

After WoW had been around for a year or so, were you still unhappy about it?

Nah, I enjoyed WoW well enough for what it is. When WoW was announced there was a lot of skepticism on whether or not a company that was primarily known for their RTS games could make an MMO, along with a decent amount of "Who asked for this". In hindsight I'm also a bit bitter that we never got and never will get Warcraft 4 though. To some degree Blizzard basically stopped developing games for a few years due to WoW's success consuming the company.

Were most WC3 players unhappy about the announcement?

I think most of them would have preferred another RTS game.

There's value in "I want to run this code 10 million times and I don't want to have to figure out how to scale that out"

I'd love to see some statistics on that.

Zero K is uglier but has a full campaign, more units, and is less micro intensive.

BAR has better graphics and tiers of units ala classic TA (zero K is flatter), and more active multiplayer.

They both have Total Annihilation as a distant ancestors.

As someone who played a lot of Warcraft 3 and really enjoyed the campaign before wow was announced, I was not pleased with the MMO announcement.

Aka "buy the rumor, sell the news"
