Why would I have to describe to you the vast differences between the first two Diablo games and 3/4 (from what we've seen of 4), are you completely unfamiliar with the old games? By "practices" I'm not only talking about the things I've mentioned:

HONG KONG (and they're standardized, half-assed apology)
irrelevant to the argument

D4 will be a full priced game ($60) with paid MTX off the bat and they're immediately planning for expansions.
irrelevant to the argument

I don't play WoW, but I've heard sentiments that they've overcasualized that as well.
irrelevant to the argument

Releasing OW2 as in reality nothing more than a $60 expansion but calling it a completely new game.
irrelevant to the argument

D3 was a mess on launch in many ways but was rushed out
how was it a mess. All I know is that it was boring

"You guyz don't have phones??" Immortal debacle What does this have to do with anything
