Blizzard games will stop working on Windows XP and Vista

And that is going to happen sooner than many expected. Starting in October, support for Windows XP and Vista will be removed in five of the studio's most important games. What games? World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, Diablo III, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm.

No more support Windows XP and Vista

Blizzard wanted to highlight that Microsoft stopped supporting these versions in 2009 and 2012 respectively. But since there was still a relatively high percentage of users playing their games in these versions they have continued to offer support. Until now. Since currently, the majority of the games audience is in the last two versions of Windows available.

Therefore, for those affected, the only way to enjoy the games is to upgrade to Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10. Versions that are fully supported by Blizzard. And so you can enjoy these and other games.

Blizzard has not disclosed a specific date. They have commented that it will happen in a staggered way throughout the month of October. But they have not yet revealed a deadline as the last day to enjoy the games. So we will have to wait for more details to be announced, something the company has confirmed it will do. What do you think of this decision by Blizzard?
