Greed has no limits in a socialist world. Greed has no limits in a monarchist world. Greed has no limits in a communist world. Greed has on limits in a fascist world. Human nature doesn’t change regardless of government or economic system so why drag politics into everything?

For the hundreds of hours of gameplay, it is a steal.

If they keep their promise and add all those small quality of life changes and patch exploits without touching the main game flow, I say it well worths it. Just wait for release and watch reviews to be sure that it worths money. No harm if you act abit late.
Well not sure what the benefits are for those that paid the Blizzconline 2021 subscription (60$ if I’m not mistaken)… Many of us that DIDN’T do it have the “extra” $ saved to buy the game without feeling robbed
Yes, it’s a bit pricey for a remaster (resurrected) project, but hey, looks well done and the quality looks like justifies the price overall, it’s still a recommendable precaution to wait the game come out and see a review or two 
Lol what hundreds of hours? Noone in their right mind would play through the story again more than once. There is nothing new added.

Hm? I will happily play further hundreds of hours over the following years. Why not? Who cares for the story? I love the game.

no its not to much…how much do you people think it cost to make games nowdays? 40 is perfectly fine for a good remaster.

Shared stash, auto gold pickup and rumored instanced loot are all good additions to an already solid game. When item dupes and bots are fixed as promised, replayability will increase. Why wouldn’t we play it again?

They obviously have and still are doing a lot of work on this game, the visuals looks amazing. There’s a lot of under the hood changes that were needed as well. I don’t mind paying for hard work.
Adjusting for inflation, $40 today is $26.49 in 2000 dollars. Considering that D2+LoD was a total of $95 at release, that makes D2:R a steal.

I think so because we are not actually getting anything new with regards to quest or items or recipes or rune words. $40 for a reskin seems excessive.

$40 sounds a bit steep.
There should a cheaper “upgrade” one if you alesdy have D2.
At the very least those both should include the d3 pet wings. Also the ones from that d3 prime evil collection.
That prime evil collection includes d3 which I already have… no need for another key…
I’ll probably wait for a sale or something, before buying D2:R.

I remember going to arcade halls back many years ago. If you didn’t stretch it, $20 didn’t last long, especially playing the premium games. So if you experienced the arcade bug like I did, keep that in mind considering the amount of time you’ll get out of that $40 playing D2:R.

One of the advantages of going to the arcade was not having to pay $1500 - $2000 + for the machine to play it on.

Yes that is true, but we’re going to assume that those that buy it read the system requirements before doing so.
In contrast, if you have the original game, I’ve had that running on a netbook with a crappy Intel Atom/2 gigs of RAM, it ran just fine. It’s still faster than the original game requirements, but that system was also running Win7 versus XP/Win2k/98 the game was originally intended to run on.

It may not be a full new engine in the sense of how it handles everything, but they literally had to build a whole new phyiscal based rendering system, all the assets in 3D, all the audio and artwork in HD, redo the cinematics, add and change QoL features, and port this all over to new consoles, controller support, new Bnet, etc.
I am surprised and annoyed that so many people find $40 to be too much. The game was I believe already 15 - 20 to buy to this day with the expansion, now with all the extra work they are doing to modernize it…I think an extra $20 is very very reasonable. Of course if you don’t want to pay that for the “remaster”, they are leaving the original alone and live, so you can go and play that even after this releases.

When I launched I’m pretty sure I was playing Diablo 2 on a K6 with 64 mb of ram and a Voodoo 2 
The new requirements are pretty insane in contrast.

$40 is fine by me but I definitely foresee myself playing the game a ton if it is done well.
In the very least I’d be looking at getting 3 classes to 90ish level (Necro, Druid, Assassin) and then it just comes down to which ARPG I want to play until D4 as ARPGs are my favorite genre. Does D2:R beat Grim Dawn? Is another ARPG take my attention until D4?
If you’re just beating the game once then, yes, $40 is a lot. If you plan to do a few run throughs then I feel $40 is perfectly justified with the quality that appears to have been done on first glance.
