GOG has announced that even if games in its recently launched preservation program are delisted from its store, it will maintain compatibility with those games and offer players “a seamless experience and tech support for those titles.” The first games covered are Warcraft I and II, scheduled for delisting on December 13th.
GOG’s preservation program lets you keep playing games after they’re delisted
GOG is delisting Warcraft I and II, but that doesn’t mean it won’t support them anymore.

That promise extends to Windows changes that affect how playable a game is, GOG says.
The Preservation Program launched last month, offering ongoing tech support and compatibility updates for some classic games. GOG started it with a list of 100 games, including Diablo and Resident Evil 1-3.
Warcraft I and Warcraft II are being delisted from GOG “at the publisher’s request,” the company says. Their publisher, Blizzard, released remastered versions of Warcraft I and Warcraft II the same day the preservation program was announced. You can still buy the games before they’re removed, and GOG is offering discount code MakeWarcraftLiveForever, which shaves a little off the price for those buying a bundle containing both games.
