I was one of those individuals who vowed never to purchase another game from Blizzard after Diablo 3.
Here I am again complaining about Diablo 4. Their marketing department and cinematic department deserve a raise. A lot of individuals got pulled back into the diablo universe from all the hype. I even waited a few days before purchasing to really make sure.
Shareholders are happy. Blizzard is touting 9/10 - 10/10 reviews from gaming sites. And we are left standing in a large mile-wide puddle of water that is an inch deep.
I’ll see you guys during the Diablo 4 expansions and Diablo 5 launch.

Out of all these words you typed… Not one of them says why you’re displeased. This whole post is like going to a fast food place, going up to the cashier and going, “I just bought this, but I want I want a refund.” When the cashier ask why you would like a refund you just say, “cuz”.

Well your problem stemmed from basing your purchase off of game site reviews… Those are all paid for, they mean nothing, gotta wait for player reviews and weed through the trolls and find actual reviews lol

Don’t say it too loud, or forum police will come with a third degree on you.

They won because they got my money. They lost, because this is the last money I will ever give them. They destroyed my favorite franchise over the last 2 iterations. I refuse to give Blizzardo another penny unless the game is fully vetted and I will absolutely never again buy one of their games on release day.
So while they may have got my 100.00, they lost out on my 1000’s I would have spent on MTX and other games.

I never refrain from buying any game I could potentially like enough. My WoW sub and friend’s birthdays are my weapons.
r/Diablo suspicious things? WoW sub cancelled.
WoW Classic announced? WoW sub restored.
Immortal fiasco? WoW sub cancelled again.
D4 announced? WoW sub restored again.
Same with the countless official WoW Funkos and other official Blizzard products I’ve given as presents and the countless ones I’ve deliberately decided not to buy.
Won what? Are we at war with Blizzard?

They did win.
From a business stand point they won. And nothing you can do about it. Your voice does not matter. Because your actions spoke louder and will keep doing it.
So all the people don’t like the game. They don’t care and should not care as long as they keep making profits.
That is how the world works. This game is a success.

Ikr? I at least say “Cuz I said so!”
I’m having fun. This isn’t Blizz of old, anyone who knows 2023 Blizz knew what they were getting. Blizz doesn’t make masterpieces anymore, they rehash old ones. D4 is a pretty good rehash of Diablo if you ask me.

I mean just about anything that is mentioned about why people are unhappy gets followed up with “Just quit” “Go play PoE” “Crybaby” “Entitled children” ect.
These forums are filled with reasons as to why people are unhappy with this game.
You really don’t know if they made a profit or not.
Unless you have info on the cost of production, overhead expenses, marketing budget, etc… you really have no idea. They posted an article about revenue - but that isn’t revealing profit margins. For all we know, the game could be a mile in the red still.
Marketing and press releases are carefully crafted to fool the viewer. They have an outstanding marketing / PR team. I wish their game leadership was as good… 
I mean this game broke records on sells.
You don’t design a game and expect records being broken the only way to make profits.
so… you and players like you that keep buying regardless of quality are the problem

Their marketing department, art and music departments have done a fantastic job since day one, it’s one of the things that sets Blizzard above the rest.
Their leadership team that makes the game design decisions (the devs have no say in how the gameplay/systems are designed) are probably one of the worst ever 
Regardless of the state of the game, I’ve got my moneys worth for $139 AUD. One of the cheapest form of entertainment on the market at the moment so it’s only up from here.
They won and are still winning because you would rather keep your license key so you can come hear and bad mouth the game. Rather than showing some commitment like I did with PoE by completely leaving the game and their forums by requesting an account delete. Submit the charge back request, close the loop, you will feel better.
Stockholm Syndrome. Blizzard gonna ATK.
ahahahaha, game is fine, far from perfect, but you know, I rather grind and kill monsters for no reason in amazing graphics than in a 3rd class sttutering ugly environment. In the very end its a game, therefore you time is wasted, unless you are making a living out of it streaming.
Where is the meat of your point? Where is the why? Another pointless thread throwing stones while in a glass house.
