GOG’s preservation program ensures you can play delisted games

GOG’s Preservation Program ensures compatibility and support for delisted games like Warcraft I and II, and it is available until December 13.

If you’re a fan of classic games, you’ll be pleased to know that GOG’s Preservation Program guarantees you can keep playing even after a game is delisted from its store. Announced last month, the program promises to maintain compatibility and provide ongoing tech support for a selection of titles. This is great news for gamers who love revisiting old favourites without worrying about updates or technical issues.

A seamless experience for gamers

GOG is committed to delivering what they call “a seamless experience.” Even as systems evolve, they ensure that games the program covers remain playable, regardless of changes in Windows or other operating environments. The programme launched with an impressive list of 100 titles, including timeless classics like Diablo and Resident Evil 1–3.

The latest additions to this initiative are Warcraft I and Warcraft II. While these games will no longer be available for purchase after December 13, GOG assures fans that those who already own them can continue enjoying full compatibility and technical support.

Why are the Warcraft games being delisted?

GOG explained that Warcraft I and II are being removed “at the publisher’s request.” Blizzard, the publisher behind these iconic games, has recently released remastered versions of both titles designed for modern platforms. This move seems to align with Blizzard’s broader focus strategy on these updated editions.

However, GOG isn’t leaving you out in the cold. Until the delisting date, you can still purchase the original Warcraft games, and there’s even a special discount for fans. Use the code MakeWarcraftLiveForever to get a reduced price when buying the bundle containing both games. It’s a thoughtful gesture for anyone looking to secure a piece of gaming history before it’s gone.

Keeping the classics alive

For many, this programme is a much-needed initiative in an industry where games can often disappear forever when delisted. By offering long-term support and ensuring compatibility, GOG is preserving gaming history while giving you the confidence to invest in classic titles. Whether you’re a nostalgic player revisiting childhood favourites or a newcomer discovering these masterpieces for the first time, GOG’s Preservation Program ensures these games remain accessible.

Don’t miss your chance to grab Warcraft I and Warcraft II before December 13 and take advantage of GOG’s efforts to keep classic gaming alive for generations.
