Blizzard really sleeping at the wheel this past decade, they probably should have invested into talent and another IP instead of pleasing their shareholders when Activision was associated with them.
Sucks what business does to moniize creative process/art.
They have a brand new IP coming out in the next few years. Action rpg iirc.
edit: strange downvote for stating facts:
It does that to EVERYTHING, not just art. The functional stuff gets bogged down in capitalist BS, too. Just look at DRM. An entire sector devoted to making copying things more difficult just to protect money. Corporations spend so much time protecting profits instead of actually innovating.
To be honest, most people that wanted to play the game already got the game on Battlenet, so obviously it’s not going to have large numbers.
I loved D1-3 and had the collector editions. D4 I completed Act 1 and haven’t touched it since.
There’s just no soul to the game, I’m the same as you, and it really disappointed me.
It’s the last Blizzard game I will ever buy.
Blizzard: “Are we the bad guys?”
lol, who am I kidding – they don’t have enough self-introspection for that.
I bought it because I was tired of the launcher and the bnet version was gifted to me. I also wanted to do my part for bumping the numbers for linux players.
As nice as it would be to have it on steam there is just no incentive to rebuy it. It doesn’t even take much extra work to get the battle net version running on a steam deck.
Do you know if you can play Battle.net version of D3 on Linux? Does it work on Steam Deck?
I think the guide I had originally followed was actually for World of Warcraft so I don’t see why you wouldnt be able to apply that to Diablo 3 - but the issue with D3 on the deck would ultimately probably be that the PC version of the game has no official controller support.
