To be honest, most people that wanted to play the game already got the game on Battlenet, so obviously it's not going to have large numbers.

I loved D1-3 and had the collector editions. D4 I completed Act 1 and haven't touched it since.

There’s just no soul to the game, I’m the same as you, and it really disappointed me.

It’s the last Blizzard game I will ever buy.

That Blizzard is selling their games on Steam at all speaks volumes about how poorly they are doing.

All of the design talent and experience has been purged from their ranks in the last 10-12 years. They are a trash tier developer and have burned all the nostalgic goodwill of their past successes.

Kotick killed the golden goose, ruined countless careers and lives, and now he gets to leave with hundreds of millions at the end of the year. Capitalism at is finest.

No, it doesn't at all. All of this was just preparation for the Microsoft acquisition, by having Actiblizzard games in a third party platform as a way to show that they're "not creating a monopoly"

Because the Epic Launcher is a flaming pile of shit.

I agree, but if Blizzard was just trying to pretend to be a fair company, they launched their product on a near monopoly platform and chose badly.

Steam is not a monolopy platform. The Blizzard launcher is more of a monolopy platform than Steam is. Epic pays for exclusivity deals to keep games off other launchers. Steam has never done that with any games except their own.
