Or if Blizzard sues them to get the games removed.
The game will be removed on 13. December?
However that can't simply take away a game someone has already bought.
Sure they can. Companies do it all the time.
Short of suing me for it (after finding out who I am and making sure I own the games), how would they do that for non-DRM games whose installer lives on my hard drive and that I can install whenever I want, wherever I want?
