This big list doesn’t seem like a list of compromises. Maybe the widescreen support stopping at 19:9 you could argue was a compromise. Everything else seems pretty deliberate.
i think this is an important point people aren’t getting. The people screaming for massive changes are NOT the people this game was designed and marketed for. The D2R devs confirmed this and Blizz themselves confirms it with every single advertisement and the main slogan for christ sake.
Their sales pitch is, “hey we changed almost nothing! same gameplay!” yet somehow they are only focused on appeasing tons of new players for money? Cmon now. Anyone who thinks D2R was made to be some cash cow and grab a bunch of new players is smoking some serious jazz cabbag.
