Perhaps the vast majority of Diablo players are desperate for all these multiplayer experiences, with Diablo Immortal essentially an MMO and Diablo 4 doubling down on the multiplayer aspects that Diablo 3 tried to introduce. It’s not enough to make me cool on the game - I’ve been waiting for this for years, I’m super invested in the game happening - but am I the only person who maybe plays Diablo with at most two other people and that’s plenty? So when Diablo 4 was announced as an always on, somewhat multiplayer game where you can run into dozens of other players, the first thing I thought was but I don’t want to run into dozens of other players. If you tried playing Diablo 3 when it came out, you may remember Error 37. Truth be told, it bothers me about every game it’s in that isn’t explicitly a multiplayer game, but it really bothers me about Diablo 3 that the game is an always online one - that even if I intend to play the game wholly by myself I have to do so connected to Blizzard’s servers.
This is something that bothers me about Diablo 3.
