"Diablo 4 will not have an offline mode and will require an internet connection to play, Blizzard said during an interview at BlizzCon today."
And thus, same as with Diablo 3, this one has also gone into my "well, then fuck off and die" list of games that I'll never buy or play. I wouldn't care if it came "never," at this point.
Don't expect a shit-ton of posts from me ranting about it, though. I simply don't give that much of a fuck anymore. I certainly don't have any fucks left to give to Blizzard, that's for sure. Mind you, while I do still wholeheartedly endorse Blizzard going off and choking to death on their own shit, of course, the whole thing just doesn't enrage me nearly as much as it did when they shat the bed with Diablo 3, mainly because it was completely expected that Blizzard would be just as fucking dumbshit with the fourth game as they were with the third. It honestly would have shocked me more if they'd said there would be an offline mode in Diablo 4. I still probably wouldn't have bothered with it if they did say that, but I'd have been ever so slightly less inclined to just write it off out of hand as a lost cause, as I am now. *shrug*
And, same as always, there are just as many Blizzard fuckbois/reputation management drones down in the comments under that article as there ever were under any given Diablo 3 article. Some things will never change, I guess.
