everyone will complain but im sure everyone in the world will be playing this day 1 to try it out and finally see for themselves
This game will explode into the charts when it launches and as usual it will see huge numbers leaving after a month or two. That's just down to the IP's name, anything that is sufficiency noticed by the gaming community is gorged upon then spat out as a new treat appears. But fans will keep the game going with good numbers I am sure.

I've never played any game with the exception of puzzles at the doctor's office on my phone. I have a very minimal not the latest phone, I use it only for calls and messages. Doubt it can even play the game on it. I will check out the vids on youtube to see if I'm missing anything.

Everyone -1, I'd sooner play a Korean grinder than anything made by Blizzard, not for any moral reason, I just don't care much for their games.
-2, do not own a mobile phone, nor do I care to try it on the PC. Nothing against their games, have played WOW a lot over the years, and some StarCraft, and diablo. Just this one never sounded like something I wanted to mess with from the start.
The mobile and other crap like loot boxes and such, just made that choice easier.

Oh you can play on the PC? I'll check it out then.

Aye, and the download is 26gb, definitely an upgraded version and not a mobile emulator.

-3, I'm willing to bet it's different but not any better than D3, at best.
It'd take some killer post-launch reviews to get me to take the time to download it.

Well, with fiber, the download lasted like 10 minutes max... not like it's that big of a deal

True, but I have to finish my play through of Outer Worlds and No Man's Sky first, then clear my backlog of Elden Ring, Horizon: ZD, and Tell Me Why (Life is Strange series made me a *huge* Deck Nine fan). I also noticed Chiv 2 is getting a 3rd faction update soon, so back I go to shake the rust off before that comes out so I can behead some guy, pick it up, and beat his buddy with it.
I swear, it's an amazing time to be a gamer, even if it's not an amazing time to be an MMORPG gamer, specifically.

do not own a mobile phone,
Could not view this phrase, my mind won't let me see or process it.
Heh but it is true. However, I think I may get one soon and do away with my ooma setup.
My old phone system is like 15 years old and the phones do not always want to charge up anymore.
Might buy a cheap cell phone and go with a 10 a month prepaid plan instead of replacing my home phones. Plans finally cheap enough that the plan and cheap phone will be cheapest option now.

I sleep with my Smart Phone, it goes with me everywhere, the shower, the loo, on my morning runs, in the car, I'll probably be buried with it one day.

My home phone is disconnected from the wall as only marketers call me on that. Haven't used it for ages.
Wait, wut? Isn't this the same Blizzard that hates freedom for those living in HK, fosters an abusive climate for female employees, heck, all employees judging from their anti-union activities, ruins WOW more with each new release and still retains Satan's nephew Bobby K. as their CEO?
Yet gamers everywhere are flocking to play their latest.....
Gamers, principles, and character, things which rarely go together, there are $2 hookers with higher standards.
I personally don't care about that bullshit.
What I dislike in the new Blizzard is that they submitted to that "woke" culture, where jokes are no longer allowed and have to be censored. That's why they don't get any money from me anymore.
Doesn't stop me from giving a try to their FREE game.
I'm also still playing Overwatch, which was buy to play and doesn't require any additional purchase to enjoy. I don't log into Diablo III anymore because I explored that game inside out and don't feel like playing more.

You can get great landline phones that block all spam, an essential these days.
@Torval all of that, plus the attitude taken with the countries that have banned loot boxes, plus the company's recent history involving employees still in decision-making positions at the company, plus the possibility of completely unnecessary privacy risks due to being too lazy to differentiate between the Chinese client's needs compared to the rest of the globe....
This is one of those situations where it's obvious the company behind the product doesn't give a damn about what you want beyond how they can twist it to wring you dry.
But I'm sure, if we all just ignore this ONE MORE TIME, devs will surely realize it's a predatory and distasteful scheme and move away from the practice. Surely! I mean, it's about as fun as the previous Diablo titles, so it has to be good for the industry, right?

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

I just read that on Massively and that honestly scared me off more than the ridiculous monetization.
