    Blizzard Wants to Bring Warcraft and Warcraft II to Modern PCs

    Blizzard wants to bring the classics Warcraft and Warcraft II into the modern era "in some form" or another. Essentially, Blizzard wants to give their old RTS series the GOG treatment.

    Valve Apologizes for Lack of Dota 2 Diretide Event

    Today, Valve updated the Dota 2 blog with some fresh information as to why there was no Diretide and offers up an apology to the fans in the process. First up, why wasn't there Diretide this year?
