Blizzard is delisting the OG Warcrafts from GOG, but GOG says it's gonna preserve them forever anyway, hands out a discount, and announces new policy for its preservation program to boot (www.pcgamer.com)

Games are constantly pulled from the Steam store, but that doesn't result in owners losing access to the game, GOG is no different. The only thing that will happen is they stop selling the game, it's standard practice.

GOG also offer offline installers that would be impossible for even GOG to take away from you.
