My gorlfriend pre-ordered the diablo 4 deluxe edition (don't ask) and she maybe played 6 hours. She also played like 60 hours of diablo 3 since. I never played diablo, so idk, i just watched her play the other day and one of her 30 something blizzard friends played diablo 4
Yup, approximately what I had in mind, under 15% of the original player base.
The grinding needed in D2 and D3 didn't feel as tiresome as it is in D4.
It might be that I'm becoming older, "grumpier" by the years and that I don't have the patience and time to grind correctly anymore.
Grinding must feel like fun, otherwise it's just bad game design. If you don't feel rewarded for it, it's specially bad.
I think blizzard have actually lost the ability to make fun games, because they don't love games anymore. They are in this for the money.
