"Diablo 3 Quasi-Delayed To ‘Early 2012′"
Sep. 23rd, 2011 12:49 pm"Could it be that the beta has turned up unexpected problems? Or that they’re using the extra time to include an offline mode? No, that’s just my wishful thinking speaking."
Yeah, wouldn't it be great if the reason for the delay was that they're putting in the offline mode that should have been there from the start? I'm not going to hold my breath, though.
"we look forward to making the most of the extra time we’re taking to deliver an experience that lives up to our vision for the game and the expectations of our players."
If they put offline single-player back in, then they will have lived up to my expectations. If they don't, then I don't care how much extra time they take to work on it, their game will never be "ready" as far as I'm concerned. But then, when "the expectations of our players" directly conflicts with "our vision for the game," take a wild guess as to which one trumps the other. I'll give you three such guesses, and the first two don't count.
(By the way, what's so "quasi-" about this? Either the game is delayed, or it is not.)
