"If you're using an operating system [from Microsoft] that's over a decade old to play Blizzard games, we have some bad news for you. Starting in October, Blizzard says it will "begin the process of ending support for Windows XP and Windows Vista in World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, Diablo III, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm." - via ArsTechnica

    Isn't it great that we have bnetd now that Blizzard support is ending?

    Writing a new server package for their newer games perhaps can serve as a customer feedback? :-)
