Blizzard er blevet ramt lidt af en shitstorm fra fans efter udgivelsen af Warcraft III: Reforged. Spillere får refunderet deres køb, det har den laveste brugerscore på Metacritic og fans er sure.
Nu har Blizzard valgt at svare på al kritikken. Svaret der er skrevet af Blizzard Community Manager Randy "Kaivax" Jordan lægger ud med at fastslå, at kritikken ikke får Blizzard til at give op på spillet:
"Before we go on: the team is excited that Warcraft III: Reforged is finally upon us and we're fully committed to supporting the game for a long time to come. The next few patches and updates we'll discuss below are just part of our ongoing plans. This game is an integral part of the Blizzard DNA, with a team that loves Warcraft III, and we're looking forward to pouring our hearts into Reforged and the Warcraft III community for the long term."
Derudover lover Blizzard at patche en stor del af de problemer, som fans er utilfredse med. I forhold til de cutscener, som fans havde regnet med ville være nye, skriver Blizzard:
"...as we talked about last year at BlizzCon, we did not want the in-game cutscenes to steer too far from the original game. We went a little deeper into the thought process behind that at the show, but the main takeaway is that the campaigns tell one of the classic stories in Warcraft history, and we want to preserve the true spirit of Warcraft III and allow players to relive these unforgettable moments as they were (albeit rebuilt with new animations and the higher fidelity art)."
