Three years later, I realize maintenance mode for Heroes of the Storm was a great move by Blizzard

Heroes of the Storm died in July 2022. Except... it didn't.

I was sad the game had officially gone into maintenance mode. The Blizzard all-stars MOBA was my favorite online game since I started playing it in 2015, shortly after its release. But I can't say I was surprised, because it felt like HotS had been abandoned much sooner than that.
