Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 7h

they probably repurposed ghost and slapped a new label on it.

I'm happy to continue not buying Microsoft products. I was never a huge Starcraft fan, so this will be easier than skipping Diablo 4. Diablo was The Game for a few years in my youth. But now: fuck em.

They should just go ahead and make the next Diablo game an RTS to complete the loop of not giving a rats ass about the fans.
