Efter svidande kritik och ett av användarna utnämnande av Warcraft III: Reforged till tidernas sämsta spel på Metacritic, har nu Blizzard själva gått ut och bemött kritiken. Det är community manager Randy "Kaivax" Jordan som fått det otacksamma uppdraget, och han skriver bland annat att Blizzard inte gett upp spelet:
"Before we go on: the team is excited that Warcraft III: Reforged is finally upon us and we're fully committed to supporting the game for a long time to come. The next few patches and updates we'll discuss below are just part of our ongoing plans. This game is an integral part of the Blizzard DNA, with a team that loves Warcraft III, and we're looking forward to pouring our hearts into Reforged and the Warcraft III community for the long term."
Han fortsätter genom att förtydliga hur de tänkt angående besvikelsen kring mellansekvenserna:
"...as we talked about last year at BlizzCon, we did not want the in-game cutscenes to steer too far from the original game. We went a little deeper into the thought process behind that at the show, but the main takeaway is that the campaigns tell one of the classic stories in Warcraft history, and we want to preserve the true spirit of Warcraft III and allow players to relive these unforgettable moments as they were (albeit rebuilt with new animations and the higher fidelity art)."
