This is good news for all Blizzard RTS games.

The 1.29 Legacy TFT client for WC3:R:

Warcraft RTS and WC3:R leading the way for Blizzard RTS games post-2020 once again.

WC:R got it's own WC3:C.

Now WC3 players have a choice between WC3:R(that constantly gets new updates/content, the future going forward.) and WC3:C(that doesn't get new updates/content, preservation of the past.).

Legacy clients for SC2(WOL and HOTS) and SC:R(BW pre-August 2017) can be added:

WOL's last client patch was Patch 2.0.5 in March 2013.
HOTS's last client patch was Patch 3.0.3 in October 2015.
BW's last client patch was Patch 1.18.8 in July 2017.

WOL Patch 2.0.5 and HOTS Patch 3.0.3 can have a new legacy client for each of them within the SC2 launcher. Those are the last client patches that those games were playing on before SC2 went F2P back in 2017.

BW Patch 1.18.8 was the last 1998 BW patch before SC:R released in August 2017. If SC:R wants to get the same level of Blizzard RTS team support that WC3:R does and get all the features that SC:R was originally promised in a "2.0" relaunch patch similar to what WC3:R got, they are going to have to split the client between legacy BW(1998-July 2017) and SC:R(August 2017-) like how WC3:R now has a legacy TFT client and the regular WC3:R client.

Starcraft RTS has fallen behind Warcraft RTS since 2020, Starcraft RTS not having legacy clients while WC3:R gets them is another sign of that.
