That's just the tip of the iceberg. Froeschke also revealed that from pre-orders to the upcoming first expansion, Diablo IV's total lifetime revenue has already surpassed $1 billion. That figure is no small feat, but it's not surprising considering Diablo IV is Blizzard's fastest-selling game ever.

Why are people paying to play diablo when Path of Exile is right there, free?

Blizzard doesn't give a fuck about its consumers.

I love PoE but will say I don't like the glitterfest speedster every build turns into. I know many d2 builds can get pretty bright and fast too, but it somehow has more cronch for what I'm doing. I can't shake it, and clearly struggle to define it.

It's a great great game and I look forward to poe2, no hate.

Also am excellent game that deserves your time. I really mean it.

If I had to gripe there it's that enemies dogpile you and it's hard to feel "ranged" in lategame, which is my favorite playstyle.

It's fun for a while, but for me, it lacks the replayability. I have ~50ish hours in there, but after that I just couldn't stay engaged. Even tried again after a bigger patch, still couldn't hook me in.
