GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Giving away the remaster and both prior expansions removes friction for new players while rewarding longtime fans, likely boosting the game's active player base ahead of a paid expansion launch. Adding Switch 2 and Battle.net availability also widens the game's reach across platforms, extending the commercial life of a decade-old title.
