Stop trolling, the only reason WC3:R replaced the original one was that Blizzard thought that the original one was now obsolete. They didn't know that the game would be broken for so long.
Btw, they didn't remove the old WC3, they just removed the installation files so every WC3 original installation is now a WC3:R with old gfx-mode only.
SC2 won't be remade any time soon, it is still a modern game.
The amount of stupidity on these boards baffles me sometimes.

They did break the original WC3, in many ways. You weren’t prompted for an update or anything so if you’re so much logged into Bnet your game gets wiped.
Not an issue that affected me but many folks had all their custom maps overwritten, and if they had no backups those are gone forever.
I personally can’t play my WC3 copies that I still have, apparently my CD key is registered and support won’t let me deregister it. Quite a personal situation in which I appear to have also fucked up, but I only attempted to register my keys with Bnet 2.0 because the game wouldn’t fucking work otherwise.
Will Blizzard fuck SC2? Who knows? If you’d asked me 5 years ago if an SC Remaster wouldn’t have 2v2 ladder or if WC3 remaster would have no ladder and be super lacking features from the original, I’d have said no, it’s Blizzard of course that won’t happen.
Now I mean, who knows? The issue for me isn’t Blizzard dropping SC2 any time soon, much more that if/when they do the community don’t have the ability to build and maintain that infrastructure themselves.
Which is a real problem with how games are made these days across the board. I quite like when a company curates the game so there’s one unified ladder and general experience, instead of a fragmented playerbase playing different tweaks of the game, but the rather large downside is if said company stops curating it then nobody else can.
Hopefully best case is when Blizz does step back they either let a partner like ESL keep running the game, or just open it up to the community.
