D4 is firmly in the middle of the pack. Not “dying” as some members of these forums would have you believe. Top comedy when you realize people have been talking up Grim Dawn like it’s the second coming of D2.

All these twitch* topics are getting pretty old. And really taking up valuable top spots in forums that could be used for more productive topics

God damn someone speaks the truth for once!!!
I would give you 100 hearts if I could.
I’m getting bored of these topics already. But judging by the threads on the forum
it seems that with such server loads D4 servers are struggling.
I mean the load in terms of viewers. Which of course can be random.
Just flag as spam. Seems it works.
Lost Ark is 2 years old. POE is 10+ years old.
The fact that Diablo 4 one month after release has less than 10% of the viewers as a 10 year old game in the same genre?
That’s a pretty big L. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

“Second coming of D2…”
Did I teleport to circa 2012? Anyone who cares about D2 knows what GD is more or less. It isn’t being talked up that much to my knowledge outside of kind of the general “it is good” that GD tends to always get

What kind of messed up timeline are we in where we care about how many people watch other people play video games?
Seriously?

It’s not “that we care.” They’re general indicators of popularity. No one “cares” how many times you google something… but google search patterns are a metric by which you can judge general engagement.
Welcome to the 21st century I guess?

Well, it seems to be a talking point for both camps.
It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
So, we either accept it or ignore it.
I’m pretty sure the total number of subscriptions to Nintendo Power, are in no way, a reflection of Super Mario Bros overall popularity. If that’s a metric you want to use…I have to ask, why do you play video games; if you want to treat it as some sort of Wallstreet?

Kill Bill Vol 1: 1 viewer in the family room
YouTube (various): 2 viewers, one in kitchen and one on porch
Netflix: 4 viewers, basement.
Guess Kill Bill is dead, YouTube is right in the middle of the pack.

As an elder millennial who could care less about Twitch, I still do enjoy watching the contortions from the two opposing sides each times these metrics shift.

I ,for one, agree with you. It isn’t dying…it is already dead.
5.4k for a major AAA live service game thats been out for a little over a month is pathetic.
That is a games death cry. Just 1% of viewers from week 1. Poor decisions made by devs over and over killed D4. Its a shame as week 1-3 D4 was fun. Then THAT idiotic patch happened.
Not even gonna mention how blizzard charged us 70$ for a clearly 35$ at max game.
It’s the second coming of titan quest which was the second coming of d2. You see, these other games do something innovative in the genre with far less budget and manpower. diablo is bottom of the barrel now and it’s only redeeming quality is nostalgia on name recognition. It’s a travesty they stopped trying to be the leader in these games and instead do the bare minimum to pay people not worth the price.
I hate i’ve lived long enough I can see the defining developer become the call of duty of it. it is what it is tho
It’s really sad that decade old games have over 10 fold the views of Diablo 4. It’s also sad that heavy P2W Korean grinders like Lost Ark and Black Desert online have been outviewing D4, sometimes by double or triple.
that’s including the viewer boosts it got from a twitch drop campaign
