Because video game companies are like the Nazis. Godwin's law strikes fast and early here.
Actually, it rarely does strike that early. I simply did that to point out that you missed something in your ultra-clever generalization of responses in this thread. Trolling a troll, I guess you could say...
If you think I was trolling people, you're mistaken. What I was doing was pointing out how people just want to bitch about Blizzard. People bitch and moan about Blizzard's policy towards the players. Blizzard does something that people bitch and moan about. Blizzard changes the something that people are bitching and moaning about because they care about the effect of it on the players... and people bitch and moan about it. Explain to me how that makes logical sense. And invoking Godwin's law about something like this is just sad. One single game company experimenting with a system is ruining the future of gaming? Give me a break. Game companies are not Nazis. You have the freedom of choice in what games you buy and play. They are not "coming for you" the way the Nazis came for the Jews, for fuck's sake. With game companies they have to experiment to grow and expand and develop the future of gaming. If a company does something you don't like, once, that does not mean they are Nazis. It does not mean that, as a company, they are now morally bankrupt. If you don't like what they've done, say your peace with it to them once, leave it at that, and don't buy their products until they change their ways/only buy their products that you like what they've done with, not their products that feature things you don't approve of/don't care about. At the end of the day though, guess what, video games are an open market. The future of gaming is not defined by a single company. It is defined by many companies, and even if the future of gaming starts heading in one direction as a whole, there are so many smaller game companies out there that will do things to appeal to people in the opposite direction that all you have to do is support them to show the bigger companies where you want gaming to go. Or, to support those smaller companies to keep on doing things that the bigger companies aren't doing.
Also, Diablo 3, no matter how much you may want it to be, is not a single player PC game. You may be able to play it that way, but you can play an MMO that way too, that doesn't make it that though. And if you truly, desperately want a D3 single player experience, push Blizzard more for making a console version, because I imagine that a console version of the game is considerably less likely to be mandatory always online. It's still possible, but less likely.
Edit: Also, there are better ways to make your point than fucking Godwin's Law, which honestly, I find pretty disgusting and belittling of human life to invoke that quote in regards to video game companies, even more so when it doesn't even apply to the situation at hand. It's gross.
