Title: No more Freecraft

That's great. Now who's going to produce a Linux/OS X native version of Warcraft II?

How ridiculous! How could this project ruin their sales, when you needed to buy the game to use the much prettier original graphics?  

I recall seeing a post discussing the behaviour of Blizzard:

That's really dumb and petty of Blizzard because they are rolling in money right now. Jeesh, I will skip playing Warcraft III tonight just to punish them and then they will think twice about this sort of thing.

I was looking foreward to World of Warcraft and all, but now I think I'll skip it.  Freecraft was causing damage to Blizzard in no way.  This is shameless bullying by a corporate giant, and nothing else.

Gee, I guess I can't play any Warcraft II now. Darn.
