Don’t you just love online-only games with shaky servers? The same exact thing happened with Diablo 3’s launch.

    Until people quit buying them, they’re not going away.

    Matter of fact, they probably never will go away anyways because the company gets too much benefit and can scapegoat something else.

    Sure makes it easy to get away from gaming though, so maybe it’s not all bad.

      Unfortunately Diablo being always online and unstable has been present since Diablo 3.

      That launch was an absolute catastrophe as well.

    Isn’t it so that if you play hardcore mode (your character dies permanently), and you disconnect for any reason, your character is considered dead? Online only requirement goes really well for that kind of game mode, where it might be the server that falls offline, and not your PC…

    Anyone who bought this game expecting anything less than this exact shitshow deserves their fate.

      You mean like THPS1+2?

    Oh no… Anyway.

    Honestly, after how successful Diablo Immoral was I’m not surprised that fans would buy this and play it (specifically on hardcore mode). They’re too far gone, and it’s too big to fail. They could announce phone number verification requirements and D4 would still have a healthy player base.

    I stopped buying games from Blizzard and EA out of principle.
    I’m just sick of being considered part of the product instead of the end-user.

    Gamers mad they financially support systems they don’t like.
