I guess they're giving up on convincing people to download their launcher.

Such a shame that nobody cares - because Blizzard has been irrelevant for a long time
Isn't Diablo 4 one of the top profitable games this year (if you include extra transactions), and are there deets on how much Overwatch 2 makes in a month?
Naturally gamers here don't care, but I imagine much like Madden or Fifa the mainstream buys tons of Blizzard stuff.
When I did in home jobs decades ago there were quite a few people who played Warcraft and not even remotely familiar with other games let alone how to use their PCs
your last sentence still sums up wow players decades later
Oh, ha.
I do run a game store nowadays and it's interesting to see diehard board games on message boards get confused why their favorite games sell so poorly compared to more mainstream titles. 😌
"Profitable" does not always mean "good".
No, but it does mean "not irrelevant" which was OPs claim.
The slogan since the antiquity
Yeah but it's also the best Diablo game ever made. 1 is the only one even close.
Diablo 2 Resurrected is the best. Followed by Diablo 2 and then the original Diablo. Bottom 3 are Diablo 4 Diablo 3 and Diablo Immortal.
We all have our takes.
Mine goes D4>=D1 > D3 >D2 (and I assume D2R)
No idea on Immortal from me, haven't played it. Seems interesting but I'm weird about getting diablo on a phone
They made a really hot character in Overwatch though. I'll give them credit for that.
I saw a comment the other day that said something to the effect of "shout out to r34 artists I didn't even know overwatch was a real game until 2 years after it came out"
Dude, Rule 34 artists made me utterly obsessed with the character and I still have never played either of the Overwatch games.
In fact, I know I would probably even hate playing as Widowmaker since she's a sniper and I am garbage in that role lol.
Which one, specifically?
Check his username lol
Widowmaker. Hence the reason for my username
How can I be so blind lol
I mean Diablo 4 is going gangbusters right now. They may be irrelevant to your tastes but clearly they're pretty popular with gamers as a whole still.
Man I was really hyped for Diablo 4 but I think I just finished act 3 recently and I'm already bored. I don't know what it is that makes the game so soulless to me
I agree but I've been around from Diablo 1 original launch and in my fourties now so I was just chalking it up to me growing out of it ("it" being Diablo and maybe gaming at large). I'm really bummed about it though because I expected a completely different feeling, even buying my console largely for it. Diablo 2 Resurrected cheated me, maybe out of nostalgia. I found that one really fun and thought D4 would learn D3 lessons and be amazing. But I barely feel anything playing through its campaign. It just feels like work. That I'm following a carefully planned treadmill and pacing with the monster scaling and all. In a grey world with generic monsters. Maybe it's me, maybe it's the game, maybe it's both, but it's made me finally begin disregarding Blizzard Entertainment games...
Its dead after the story. They nuked endgame content imo.
Was not happy with the patch notes but signed in with my 4 friends. We beat the start of the new season stuff, then immediately saw how shit the season was about to be.
Basically after 2 short missions, you do NMD only. Helltide is worse than useless, which sucks because it was my favorite solo casual grind for endgame.
All 5 of us were off the game within an hour. We decided to go back to playing old games. 2 of us went back to playing Diablo 2 lol.
Diablo 4 is hot garbo rn.
I fully agree. My statement was meant to be subjective. Gaming became so mainstream, they can sell anything and make millions as long as the games have new shiny graphics. For me as a former Diablo2 player, Blizzard became irrelevant with Diablo3 being a huge disappointment and PoE coming out. As you say that is ofc just my opinion.
How much of that was just nostalgia and hype though. How much staying power does it actually have.
D2R was amazing and D4 has a huge player base.
