So where you seem to be disagreeing with or at least qualifying what I said I think you are mostly connecting dots I was either too lazy or too arrogant to do myself. About the new leads being d2 devotees who openly scorn D3. I talked at length about them nicking talent from other ARPG efforts. You are a smart cookie but by bit-quoting me misrepresented my argument and made it your own. Which is, I believe, what Lost Ark was always gunning for but came with unforgivable Korean p2w baggage.Īnd fuck it, if dirty DI money funnels into D4 development then eh so much for that out of season April Fools joke. Hell, when one puts it that way it starts to sound a lot like GW2, only in loose isometric perspective. A guild wars 2 style financial model (buy to play with paid micros) blending open world, arpg and mmo events and raids. Just saying I strongly believe that is their goal. The money is nice but the prestige of a potential triple A.you almost can't buy that. Blizzard do not want to be known as the company that outpunches Plarium. They are desperate to win this little race and have thrown a lot of resources at it. Rumours that d4 might be out as early as April 2023 reinforce my sentiment.

I thought the fact that I didnt mention their well known mobile cash sources indicated that when I said they have nothing else, I meant a true tentpole, respected title.
