That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Froeschke also revealed that from pre-orders to the upcoming first expansion, Diablo IV’s total lifetime revenue has already surpassed $1 billion. That figure is no small feat, but it’s not surprising considering Diablo IV is Blizzard’s fastest-selling game ever.

    Why are people paying to play diablo when Path of Exile is right there, free?

    Blizzard doesn’t give a fuck about its consumers.

      I love PoE but will say I don’t like the glitterfest speedster every build turns into. I know many d2 builds can get pretty bright and fast too, but it somehow has more cronch for what I’m doing. I can’t shake it, and clearly struggle to define it.

      It’s a great great game and I look forward to poe2, no hate.

          Also am excellent game that deserves your time. I really mean it.

          If I had to gripe there it’s that enemies dogpile you and it’s hard to feel “ranged” in lategame, which is my favorite playstyle.

          It’s fun for a while, but for me, it lacks the replayability. I have ~50ish hours in there, but after that I just couldn’t stay engaged. Even tried again after a bigger patch, still couldn’t hook me in.

        Visual clutter is your own responsibility in PoE, just saying :)
        But I get where you come from.

            I mean the skill effects especially. Or maybe even the choice of skills. If you use Lightning Strike with many projectiles (which also return) and some fancy MTX: self-inflicted clutter. I played a Bleedplosion Gladiator and a Viper Strike of the Mamba Trickster this season, both were fine clutter-wise.

        Waiting for the sequel of PoE to launch. Latest disable just sucked. It was a slog. And you don’t get to experiment with abilities and equipment so much, there’s usually only 1 good combination for any class…don’t use it, you won’t win

    I have Diablo and Diablo 2 in my heart. Made the mistake to play 3, but i will never play Diablo 4. I will die happy.
