Complaining won’t produce that end.
It’s not a matter of Bliz just being mean to players. The problem is verification.
WC2BNE’s original CD key is from an old version of Battlenet, meaning that Bliz no longer possess the keygen algorithm that would be able to read the WC2BNE keys. It’s an unfortunate limitation of antiquated technology.
D1 doesn’t have CD keys so there’s no way to register/validate ownership. It’s likely that WC1 doesn’t have CD keys either. (I don’t have an original WC1 CD to check.)
