The total apathy and contempt with which they treated Warcraft III: Reforged honestly shocked me. I mean, they released a game so unfinished it deleted dozens of essential features from the previous version of the game, most of which are still missing today. It literally required you to manually edit a text file to remap keys.
Then when they put out an apology (I'd put the word apology in sarcasm quotes, but there's not enough irony in the world to merit calling it an apology, really), they blatantly lied and claimed they cut all the new dynamic cutscenes because they wanted to preserve the feel of the original campaigns, while simultaneously making terrible and arbitrary changes to those campaigns (like badly replacing every voice line saying "Grom" with "Hellscream"). I don't really care that they cut the new cutscenes; that's the least of the game's sins. It's the flagrantness with which they lied that appalls me. They lied, they knew they were lying, we knew they were lying, and they just did not care.
The people in charge of Reforged never for a second thought that fans of Warcraft III mattered. They were literally incapable of seeing it as anything but a piece of product to pad out the last quarter of the fiscal year. But not only did they not care in even the smallest degree about the game, they apparently didn't care about their integrity and reputation as a studio either.
