The sad part is that the game was good on release, seemed like it was shaping up to be Blizzard's 2nd most successful game after WoW and ahead of Overwatch 1. However, the post-launch support has been a masterclass in how to kill a successful game with bad decision making. Diablo 4's fall from grace has been cataclysmic.
On release it was one of the most played games on all platforms, now it has fallen to #42 on Xbox's most played games list. Compare that to Overwatch 2; though people like to call Overwatch 2 a flop and the game got review bombed to become the lowest rated game ever on Steam, the fact of the matter is that Overwatch 2 is very successful still, nearly a year after release and about 3 months after Blizzard announced the death of singleplayer Overwatch (supposedly killing the game in the process) Overwatch 2 is at #15 on the Xbox most played games list (compare to #28 on Halo Infinite) and it had a 24 hour peak of 27,000 players on Steam, and of course there will be more PC people playing it on Battle.net than Steam because most of Blizzard's fans are used to using Battle.net and need to use it to play their other games still.
Streaming viewership, Diablo 4 has fallen to just 870 viewers on twitch right now, which puts it at #195 on the Twitch rankings. Some of the older games that are ahead of Diablo 4 right now on twitch: Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Overwatch 2, Heroes of the Storm (yes, that's right, the game that Blizzard abandoned like 2 years ago that gets no new content and only has servers online to play old content is ahead of Diablo 4), Path of Exile (Diablo's main ARPG competitor that released many years before Diablo 4), Guild Wars 2, Tekken 7, Pokemon Unite, Ark: Survival Evolved, Fallout 4, Yakuza 6, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Age of Empires 2, Phasmaphobia, Sea of Thieves, Resident Evil 4 remake, just to name a few of the 194 categories that are ahead of Diablo 4 on Twitch right now.
