are you talking about purchasing the original CDs + keys? why would anybody pay for the original version at this point in time other than maybe wanting to collect the boxart?

Yeah.

As to why, I couldn’t say. I’m just pointing out that no matter what route someone takes, there’s a purchase involved, outside of piracy.

threads like this are why Im actually glad blizzard doesnt read this forum, I mean I get that you are joking but sometimes it can be very difficult to read sarcasm

its sad how legitimate discussions about the game get derailed and ignored around here when crap like this gets brought up lmao

Sadly you are 100% right about this. We could even expect a moderator answer on this thread… (not joking)

@Leviathan-1945

Not directly from Bliz. But if you can find one from a 3rd party, yes.

You can’t anymore.
Remember when you could buy pre-owned versions of games?
It legally worked with the companies who bought the owned game were safely “unlocking” the account so another person could buy it again.
Now when you add a key to your account it is permanently locked.
I am sure of it because I bought a pre-owned SC2 and contacted blizzard about that. (so no random sentences^^)
Basically, do it only if you like the box and can find it for $1.

(obviously wc3 didn’t work like this, I got a pre-owned tft and a backup pre-owned roc many years ago, when the purpose of the game was to be played and not to become a money sink…)
