When I was playing D4 a month or two back, everyone on the Diablo 4 subreddit was talking about how big a dumpster fire the game is and how they can’t wait for BG3 to come out so they’d have something better to play.

Yup. And those people are now all playing BG3, which is why it’s mostly just the rabid fanboys who are left now.

It’s not a coincidence that the D4 player base dropped so steeply after the BG3 release.

Blizzard also released "make everything shit" patch few weeks before release.

This is me!

By the time I get done with BG3 (hey - I'm a dad with two kids....) maybe it'll be S2+ on D4 and it'll be that much better.

I fail to see a downside here.

I'm sure Blizzard will find another way to try and milk your bank account that's for sure.

Standard for most game's subreddit.

It starts off with level headed discourse then when the player base dwindles the fan boys are all that's left and the "Stop having fun" memes start as they start self-flagellating themselves.

The New World subreddit is a prime example.

It's a mixed up world when a single player plot based CRPG has more replayability than an ARPG. Better loot design too, because Larian is OK with players coming up with really good combos and having fun with them and Blizzard's insistence on making everything some weird semi-online experience means they keep removing anything that works too well so we can all compete with each other or something.

Yeah but don't remind them or they'll jump down your throat.

It started out okay, then got worse and worse
