![]() Going back to remaster old games in the franchise is a good idea for the entire IP regardless, having such a shallow view on the value of the game is a mistake in the long run imo. Its just not a sustainable model you will end up ostracizing the players which is where the money and value comes from. D4 will likely be the same to achieve this. Diablo immortal achieves the higher numbers because of these factors. It absolutely is exploitative with the way the game systems are implemented to achieve that high 100m number, especially if their primary reason is to generate top profit with bare minimum investment by removing ethical constraints. You can still make money and create a sustainable long term business without exploiting customers through predatory or lackluster game design. They make a mistake by treating it as a consumable and disposable product solely meant to generate profit. The primary reason for people making game should be to have people play and enjoy the game, in order to gain that money. Tbh I think if blizzard made an almost indie game style roguelike with updated d1 mechanics, it would probably be better than just a flat out “d1r”, and that could be a really interesting concept. I probably wouldnt play more than an hour or two of d1r, because it’s just too clunky. I started with d2 back in like, 2004ish? It was my first pc game and I consider myself a pretty huge fan of the series. I think a very, very small amount of people outside of hardcore diablo fans would even bother trying it, and I think a large chunk of even those hardcore fans would play it for a very short amount of time before giving it up. The problem is with how dated the mechanics of it are and how poorly they’ve aged. ![]() ![]() It’s not like, an insult or a “knock” on d1 in the slightest. There are very few games made in 1998 (same year as d2) for example, that would hold up even close to as well as d2 does with the remaster. I feel like there is a certain point where a game just doesn’t age gracefully. ![]() But honestly, the games mechanics are just too outdated. Well I’m definitely being hyperbolic with that number haha. Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread ![]()
