I'm still playing decades old games with years and years of free content because they have community server support, a modding community working on new stuff for the game they love. Like I would be with wc3 if they didn't kill it.

they give people like you some bullshit maps or a playable guy in-between thousands of dollars worth of microtransactions and you let them walk all over you, take your game away after a couple years. You're the reason that old business model of just releasing shit isn't profitable. Even if you're not the sad sack buying shit you're the grease keeping the machine going. Fuck what you've done to our hobby man.
