Oh I know. Maybe read the post I was replying to and you will understand the context?
Oh, look. someone else who doesnât get what the A stands for in arpg.
Thatâs a special sort of special.
D3 is the best of the bunch. D2 did not age well and those still playing the games for this long are mentally impaired.
D3 has it all. Accessibility. Replayability. Great community. Plenty of activities.
Those arguing like it isnât just come off sounding like troglodytes addicted to mowing the lawn.

Awesome personal attacks. Whatâs the matter. Facts got your brain?
Another whiner making personal attacks.
D1 is ancient history
D2 is really not that great when stacked against current ARPG games. Pretty damned abysmal, as a matter of fact.
The people still playing it are addicts. Literal, crippled, addicts.
The context is you blathering on about low sales numbers and my point being that its not really a "new release " or AAA game meant to break box office sales records. It shouldnât be compared to D3/D4 sales really.
Rod Fergturd is basically a shill turning the D4 brand into the equivalent to a Chinese mobile game. They only care about how the $$revenues and metrics report to the higher ups. They will try to quell the discontent as effectively as possible without increasing costs, which means they wont really be doing sh*t except a lot of lip service.
Its our fault really, we buried them on the immortal announcement so they served some cold revenge by repackaging it as D4 on PC years later and are all laughing at us.

Big numbers dont make a game good. Lots of people buy bad games all the time. Guess what, it doesnât make them better than Ocarina of time. Lots more people bought BF V, itâs not better than BF 2. Lots of people bought FFXV, itâs not better than almost rvery other FF.

Bud, the only reason I use sales is because whatever excuse you want to use, it is the most obvious metric by which to judge the success of the game.
Also, maybe read some of the previous posts to get some context?
âD3 > D2â
Lmao, suuuure.
It is a flawed metric as the wide availability and popularity of video game entertainement hardware and software is not the same now as it was before. D3 landscape was not the same as d2 pandscape, which wasnât the same as d1 (altough it was pretty close). Comparing sales is not a good metric. D2R and D3 is closer, yes. But D2R is a remaster of an old game, a sskin if you will. But guess what, sales difference still donât mean the game is better or worse. Marketting could be the reason for example. There are many many factors to consider.

Just want to double check the D3 fanboys. Yall know Rifts and GRs were almost 2 years after D3 launched? D3 had a terrible launch where they had to shut down the AH shortly after launch cuz it was causing people to spend 60% of their gametime searching the AH for upgrades instead of playing the game.
That when Diablo went from tradeable loot to bind on pickup.
Iâm pretty sure D3 lost 80% of their player base in that first year as well. Just like D4.

Donât know how people here expect the developers to play their game. Of course they donât. And by the gameplay we have on youtube, they usually donât make it very far. Even with pre-created chars 
In all fairness Chris seemed straight up, Rod seemed defensive and unable to accept responsibility with a strong desire to pile drive through any actual fair criticism, Heâs bad for Blizzard.

honestly i do trust Ron âColonoscopyâ Ferusson
he has people above him he needs to listen to also you know
I trust him more than I trust forum trolls to objectively design and balance a game. We can already thank the vocal minority for some wonderful changes like the change that ruined the open world.
They do not read or listen to any external feedback apart from the big streamers and youtubers. They have inner metrics and statistics about what people do ingame. Thatâs why they will always remain disconnected.
Does this remind you of any other games, made by Blizzard?
You shouldnât trust them. Immortal is more important.
I leave the link with the Interview with Rod here:

What is predatory and why do people throw this around all the time? Its like you heard a new word and try to work it into things that dont make sense. You have to be seriously mentally challenged if you cant control what you buy and actually think someone is preying on your low intelligence.
Nothing is predatory. Itâs a troll topic, in which you can find some normal folk to talk to when the trolls bail.
Considering that Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 are the godfathers of the ARPG genre, I donât think you really know what you are talking about. You want an action game. ARPG is a blend of a ROLE PLAYING GAME with ACTION. Most ARPGS on the market model Diablo 2. Titan Quest, Last Epoch, PoE, Grim Dawn, ect, all model after D2âs systems. Diablo 3/4 are the outliers. They were made to be brain dead easy to pick up and play for the casual market.
