Back in 2011, Rob Pardo of Blizzard said of Diablo III's always-online requirement, "I want to play Diablo 3 on my laptop in a plane, but, well, there are other games to play for times like that.”
I wasn't a fan of that sentiment and I haven't played a Blizzard game since.
"well we have a product already for the people who can't afford the always online connection for Xbox one. It's called Xbox 360."
Lol what a stupid take it was, glad that Don Mattrick has been replaced.
