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

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".

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
