    How do you mean you can still play CSGO? There are no official servers and even installing and launching it is not straight forward at all? I’d akin that to saying you can still play Vanilla WoW and point to private servers, which is not what anyone means.

      You can absolutely play CSGO and it only takes a few clicks from the CS2 entry in steam. You still have community servers, which were always a big thing in CS.

      You cannot play Overwatch 1 or old Warcraft 3 at all, doesn’t matter how many clicks you try.

        Eh? I’m pretty sure Warcraft 3 works just fine if I put the disc in my PC. Pretty sure I can LAN all night with my friends.

        Eh. If you count CSGO when there are no official servers I think you need to count WC3 unofficial servers as well. There are workarounds to playing old WC3 online, just not through battle.net.

        The old Warcraft 3 is a stretch.

        I don’t expect a game from 2002 to still have a official fully working multiplayer component.

        I was under the impression that they’re all on Burning Crusade now and soon Wrath of the Lich King, but I don’t really follow that scene anymore. But even Blizz vanilla WoW wasn’t truly vanilla but I guess that’s pretty moot.
