Sheesh, do the daans of Diablo not know what Diablo is? It is Nethack meets Gauntlet. Blizzard took the original idea of a turn bsed game and made it real-time. It was NEVER intended to be a seriously in depth RPG. Sheesh, Blizzard has World of Warcraft, a cashcow, for the RPG side. Why don't they get it? Oh well, whatever...

Uh.. pretty sure they're comparing Diablo 3 against the previous Diablo games. And they DO have valid points, even if they tend to come across as a whiny bunch of gamers.

There may be some validity in there, but the part I would take issue with is some sort of conspiratorial belief that somehow Blizzards did what it did with Diablo 3 because they had a secret deal with Sony in the works. What I see is they took it the way they did, because they have World of Warcraft, and weren't interested in having another more heavy RPG to compete with it. Also, I can't say I ever saw Diablo as a heavy RPG franchise anyhow. It was/is a loot run with stand building.
