Blizzard puts Diablo 3 out to pasture as it starts to recycle old seasons
https://www.pcgamer.com/blizzard-puts-diablo-3-out-to-pasture-as-it-starts-to-recycle-old-seasons/
Diablo 4 may still have some fans on the fence but, next to Diablo 3, its launch can only be seen as a rip-roaring success. (...)
What happened next is, of course, the redemption arc of Blizzard slowly peeling-away the bad (including those auction houses), amping up the good, and eventually with the Reaper of Souls expansion crafting the experience into what it always should have been: a joyously gory ARPG where you could melt crowds of enemies in seconds.
Blizzard announced last year that Season 29 would be Diablo 3's last tranche of new content and in the event delivered big with a solo mode players have wanted for years, But now with the arrival of Season 30, the true endgame has begun, and Diablo 3 will from here on out rotate existing themed seasonal content for as long as it remains live.

...So... Basically forever then?

...Considering Diablo 1 servers from 1996 are still online. Although most of the online transactions are P2P so it likely costs blizzard next to nothing to keep it online.

Microsoft’s 16 GB Baseline For AI PCs To Propel Memory Growth In Consumer Market, 40% AI Servers Growth In 2024

It's wccftech. So salts. And grains.

However 16GB was already a baseline for some time now for anyone using a PC in any serious fashion, 8GB can even be fairly limiting just for web browsing these days with the amount of tabs we can have open.

I still have most of my physical PC games, f.e. every LucasArts adventure:

<SNIP>

Plus a few hundred PC games on CDs or DVDs from my computer game magazines (PC Player and GameStar)... every month a disc with one or a few older PC games.

Impressive.

I wish I kept my physical games from when I was younger, but once I went digital they just disappeared...

Games like Neverwinter Nights and Baldurs Gate coming in a massive box, with the discs in a folder, including maps, notepads, game manual the works... Those were the days.

And I think it was X2: The threat that had a massive phone-book sized game manual.

Carmen Sandiego came with an encyclopedia.

Game prices have gone up and we get less. Go figure. Haha

I have stuck with physical console game collecting because they are easier to resell.

Indiana Jones looks great.


Its FPS but with scenes and some events happening in third person view/non-FPS view is great.

It looks a bit dated to me, particurly the characters faces. Not as impressive as I was hoping and personally I would have liked a third person game but it looks like it will be a solid title at least.

The rendering isn't to bad, it's the animations that are sticky and stiff which breaks the immersion, they were definitely on a budget on this... And likely spent it all on Harrison ford voice acting.
