That's a fair point but when you stack this announcement w/ the fact that they've admitted that they're working on a new game with a development team called "team 3," it becomes hard to deny the inevitablility of Diablo 3 happening within a much narrower time frame than that which happened for SC2.
They also confirmed their unannounced title is an MMO, so if that's the way things are going for the Diablo series, well then, eff the Diablo series.
It was overhyped no matter how you feel about it. Predicting the server would go down?? Why? Because it was actually awesome or because it was so intensely hyped?
To clarify my stance, I'm not upset with the announcement, I'm upset with the way the admin handled it. Poor decision on the admin's part, and for that, I have lost all respect for them.
They will not have 3 huge games announced and in development at the same time. At best, the only game getting announced will be their new next-gen MMO and if it's Diablo 3, well then screw that. Diablo 3 becoming an MMO will kill of a large chunk of the fan base waiting for a tried and true Diablo experience.
You all can get your hopes up, but it's a giant mistake. You'll see.

I'll give you a hint: Not because it was awesome.

Yeah... I don't think so.
I wouldn't make sweeping generalizations, especially if you plan on including me in them.

If the winking face is implying sarcasm, I see no reason why I should help.
