How is this a trend? It happened with two games and you can still play one of them (CSGO).

EDIT: it happened with 4-ish games, actually, and the Blizzard games are the only ones we cannot play anymore.

Arguably I think it's happened to a few more than that, Warcraft 3 comes to mind in the Battle.net launcher.

Same with the gta 3 trilogy, but R* backtracked after the backlash for the awful remasters

In the context of remasters, the same thing happened with Dark Souls 1 and its remaster.
