Another sale. WC3:R ignored again

As the title says. Blizzard is having another sale on their games, and all products except Warcraft 3: Reforged are included. This game has never been on sale once since release, or included in any promotions outside of the “Spoils of War” edition.

They know it’s a lost cause for them. Sale or not, it’s a product that’s not selling.
Better for them to ignore it’s existence rather than try to still pretend that it’s a product worth the money to the consumer when the vast, vast majority of previous owners have made it very clear Activision Blizzard botched it.

The reputation of the game is irreversibly ruined at this point as far as the marketing department is concerned.

It is the most in-demand game so no discounted price, obviously.

Maybe (in my dreams) they are working on this game and want to deliver all the promised content and that’s why they don’t put the game on sale. I guess a lot of people will buy it on sale for 15€/$ but not for 30.
But if they are really working on it they want to get 30 bugs. Maybe that can be a reason (it would be so nice)

Why would you want a sale on something you don’t want people to buy?

The only hope is for the new classic games team to come back to w3 after D2R. Which could happen, though admittedly its not likely.

that’s the best explanation so far.

haha.

I may be a more forgiving fan than most of us, but really, they’re probably not including 9it in the sale because they’re truthfully not proud of it. lol

that can really be possible

I mean, do they really want to put a dysfunctional product on sale?

That said, the price is awfully steep for what reforged is…

I agree with the poster above.

People upset that Reforged isn’t getting sales, when both they and Bliz know it’s not finished. So why would they?

Thing is, I suspect those same people would be the same ones to shame Bliz for trying to scam people by putting a known unfinished product on sale.

well, some of us know that for 1-2 $ until not so long ago you could have bought a wonderful finished pre-owned game called wc3 and enjoy countless hours of great online playing.
So, the true price of reforged at release should range around 0.1-0.5 $ at most.
To put it on sale I guess Blizzard should start to pay players to play it^^
Since we know that the investment is never on the behalf of players, we know that they’ll never do it.
Hence it’s not on sale^^

Bit tricky of an explanation, but it should make sense^^

no really, in 2010 you could buy working cd keys of roc and tft for 1-2 $ each… and the game was fully functional^^ so, how much would you spend for a non-functional one?^^

Well that’s probably a lil bit shady you know, i mean officially Warcraft is just worth the 15$ i know alot of my friends bought it. some higher some lower as you say.

But Reforged… :disappointed:
just remember you can still get automated refunds. Blizzard knows the value of this… “Reabomination” well enough themselves…

I bought the collector edition of roc back then, the one with the soundrack and the artbook. Worth every coin I have spent on that…
It was like 30 something I guess…
Then I remember I found a preowned roc + tft at something like 3 for both after some years.
Then reforged happened^^

I mean, if it doesn’t come from blizzard, it’s not really legal. Back then you could get a keygen that would generate a working key for free, and obviously, that’s also totally illegal and you should absolutely not do that.

Guess you missed the golden age of blizzard games…

What has pirating games to do with buying pre-owned games? Do you at least know how it works?

I seriously think that you have started to play this game around 2014-2015… at best…

Where was there any mention of preowned games in this thread?

Also, preowned game sales on PC is basically not a thing. And CD keys were largely there to prevent that during the era where PC games still came on disc.
