I'm 99.9% certain that is the real Max Schaefer. I have actually run into him on other forums - completely out of the blue - just because we shared mutual interests! He is quite active on the internet and in various communities. We share a mutual interest of carnivorous plants and I helped beta test Hellgate London (which was not a bad game IMO), Mythos and gave him my opinion of Torchlight. Max is a good guy and I'm not surprised at all to see his post here. I'm sure he lurks gaming sites and a title like this showing up on, not just "some rando D3 fansite" but one of the biggest D3 fansites in the world... well, I'm sure he might have a word to clarify those who are blatantly insulting him. You think maybe he wouldn't look at this site every once in awhile since it is one of the, if not the biggest hub of Diablo information? I know he's still interested in the series, despite not working on it anymore. It was a big part of his career.
Second of all, Max is a legitimately good guy. He is one of the fathers of the Diablo franchise and I'm saddened that you people are so pathetic that you have to whine just because he isn't one of your mindset that it will release in 2011. I really think that's what it is. Do you really, HONESTLY, think he only said that to be bitter about Blizzard and to get people to play Torchlight 2? That's a real childish move and I don't think, from my few conversations with him, would ever fit his demeanor. But, someone is very childish here, I'll agree. But I'm almost positive it is not Max.
Max was one of the brilliant minds behind Diablo and Diablo II, he was one of the people that intricately weaved a gaming experience that I know defined my childhood. And I know it defined many of yours. So please be respectful. I'm not saying he deserves to be put on a pedestal, but, tearing the man down for stating his opinion is really pathetic.
