So...After all the recent diablo 3 hype i decided to reinstall diablo 2. but oh no...my game disk is scratched to hell. I go to the blizzard store enter my cd key and got a digital copy of the game and i am downloading as we speak. blizzard and valve ftw. So if you lost/scratched your disk but still have your cd key you are in luck. just wanted to let people know that dont already know

That is indeed nice of them. Valve & Blizzard (and Relic) FTW, most definitely.
It would be great (IMO) if Blizz. and Valve were to have Blizzard's games put onto steam.

WoW isn't all that Blizz has and it's popular for. Except wow, starcraft and warcraft 3 are very popular still, in fact more players play them at this moment than any other RTS game. Also I'm sure than in the last 2 days more than 60K players started playing Diablo again oniline and offline(mostly offline). Those are old game but not by far forgotten. You can find Blizz's game in ANY shop and they have quite a few. Sales wise, no game(old games, some new ones die after 1 month after the release) lived as much as any Blizz game.

Nice, I love Blizzard. By the way, could you point out where you got it? I have the french version of Diablo II and would very much like to play the english version. I wouldn't mind entering my CD key in order to download the english version (I hope it's legal since technically, I own the game).

I did not even know Blizzard did that now. That's cool.

I guess that also obviously means they enabled discless play without using some fancy workaround.

Agreed, Valve and Blizz are two main reasons to be a PC gamer. Would be awesome if Blizz games were available on STEAM!

Kinda sucks, I have the exact opposite problem, I have my D2:LOD CD lying around, but I lost the front cover with the CD-key :(. Guess I'll have to rebuy it. :(

in my experience, Blizzard customer service has been sub par so far, and their level of profession is hugely disproportionate to its commercial success. very disappointing.

OMG yes! I have the WC3 battlechest, but I'm missing the frozen throne disc, so I've been playing expansion-less WC3 for ages. Finally, some DoTA action!

Wish Crytek would do something like that, or at least use steam.

Do you know how many combinations there are? I'm sure you haven't tried them all.
