Blizzard finally confirmed native Linux support for their titles and I am genuinely spent. It feels surreal to reach the end of this long road but I am grateful you stuck by me when the task seemed hopeless. We still need to hold them to their word on hardware compatibility …

Sign this petition to state that you are a linux user that would purchase blizzard games if they were available to you.
Of course WINE is an option but it's an unreliable one with bugs, performance drops, and is a headache to use in general.
It would likely be a lot of work for blizzard to release their current and future games for linux platforms but if lots of us show that we are willing to buy those products if they were available I'm sure they'll realise it's worth the effort!
P.S. Blizzard, if you do make our dreams come true, don't *only* release for ubuntu :D Thanks

Reaching this level of support shows that we are not just a quiet fringe group despite what the formal responses might suggest. It has been a long road and the fatigue is setting in but knowing so many others are waiting for the same change keeps me tethered to this task.

Already play heroes of the storm and bought and play Starcraft 2 full version (WoL, HoTS and LoTV) wich i absolutly love. But i do have issues with the games from time to time, so i would like to be officially recognized as a supported customer.
Never had great luck running Blizzard games in WINE; WoW was the best, but ran very slow and wasn't worth the hassle. Would pay in a heartbeat if there were Linux versions of Blizz games.
I am of the very strong opinion that if you were to create a native port of your games, that other developers would follow. Please, be the change we need.
Please can we at least have World of Warcraft in Linux? It's the only game atopping me from fully ditching the rapidly approaching end of support Windows 7 and I don't want the bloatware that is Windows 10.
I've stoped my subscription in 2010 due to lack of Linux support. You made me save 12 x 6 X 10 euros so 7.2 k euros that will fund my children's education instead of being in your pocket.
Love your games. Wish I could play them.
Every serious game company thinks about us.

I can never go back to Windows. I'm doing my best to keep the SC2 dream alive on Mint, but we always find ourselves on the wrong end of the patch update arms race. I'd love to buy Overwatch or Diablo 3 but I can't spend that money while there's no guarantee of support.
