I think they took a gander at PuB and thought D2 would manage the same.

It's locked to Battlenet though so no, I don't expect it to sell a lot since it's ignoring the millions that are over on Steam as well as GoG.

Oh, I didn't realise it wasn't coming to steam.

It's pubbed by Activision, so they want to avoid paying Steam 30%, but in doing so they ignore Steam and GoG entirely in favor of their partner, Blizzard's user base. WoW has been in a steep decline over the years and Overwatch is doing well, Hearthstone is F2P so whatever it makes is expected. Heroes is doing way worse to LoL and DIablo III has been out since 2012 so it's already made it's money and SCII's last expansion as 2015 and will have made all it could possibly earn.

Non dedicated servers while sporting a P2P network isn't going to win many over on PC. It certainly hasn't for Ubisoft's For honor game.
