Let's get one thing straight: D2R was not made for purists

i could make the exact same argument for them implying they would do further changes post-launch. Its PR talk to keep everyone on the hook. It would be dumb for any game company to say “oh no we definitely aren’t adding anything new, don’t check back”.

well yea dude, obviously. But it wasn’t made to be a cash cow is what im saying. Its clearly made for the purists, considering 99% of the changes don’t touch gameplay at all (if we have to ignore them insisting this is only a remaster as “PR talk”) .
