I’m not sure if I regret buying it but if I could do it all again yeah I wouldn’t have bought it yet, not until it was in a better state.
The one thing it has going for it is that blizzard wants to make it work. Even if it’s just for their own profit rather than because they want to make a good game, they’re at least allocating dev resources to it which they’re not doing for D2R.
I am quietly confident that the decision-makers within blizzard went all pikachu-face at the speed and rate that the whole world dropped the game like a hot potato and called them out for the unpolished turd that they served us.
You can’t sell gamers a game at that price at the state it was in and not have fall-out.
Hopefully upper management have realised that pissing everyone off on that scale does nothing but damage their own brand and future profitability because a significant number of pc gamers aren’t going to buy another blizzard game, at least until it has been out for years and has shown it’s worth playing.
Hopefully whoever it was that had final say over the game’s development (and patch releases) that resulted in us being served a steaming plate of excrement has acknowledged they need to ease up on the reins and let others drive for a while.
It’s unlikely but that’s probably the only shot it has at becoming a better game.
