Blizzard is Offering Refunds for Warcraft 3: Reforged

It’s rare for video game companies to refund their products, but after a troubled launch for Warcraft 3: Reforged, Blizzard has announced players who are unhappy with the game can request a full refund.

If you would like to request a refund, you can do so through Blizzard support, though Blizzard has not said how long they will honor them. Warcraft 3: Reforged’s lackluster release doesn’t make this cosplay any less impressive, though.
