After

$ wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
$ sudo apt-key add Release.key
$ sudo apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/

it says "On Linux Mint 17.x, the last line should be the following:... On Linux 
Mint 18.x, the last line should be the following:..."

You aren't using Linux Mint, so you should leave that last line as is: "sudo 
apt-add-repository https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/";

and then Mason has to keep copying and pasting instructions for you :)

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-stable

Wine should be installed at that point. The next step is using it to run 
Warcraft. Helping you with that would be against community guidelines, because 
unlike Wine it is proprietary software. However, when you must run a Windows 
program in general, whether the program is free or proprietary, it is better to 
use Wine than Micro$oft Winblows. These links should get you started.

I also encourage you to look at onpon4's list of libre games for GNU/Linux.



By the way, you never specified what you use macOS for, but I have a friend who 
is currently migrating one task at a time from macOS to GNU/Linux, and he has 
found GNOME to be somewhat similar to Aqua (the desktop environment of macOS), 
so as a macOS user you may also find it intuitive. To try it:

(1) run 'sudo apt install gnome'
(2) log out
(3) at your display manager (login screen) click the little icon next to your 
username
(4) select "GNOME' from the menu that drops down
(5) log in
