PCG podcast #139 (entitled Bugged) has revealed that Diablo III is the next cover story of PC Gamer magazine at newsstands. Apparently there will be new art revealed in this magazine, a Q&A with the Lead Art Director, and possibly an interview with Mike Morhaime (Blizzard president). It's mentioned after 7:00 of the podcast, and they also talk about the online petition.
www.pcgamerpodcast.com

"Diablo III will be in the cover of our PC Gamer October 2008 issue, on newsstands by August 19th."

Thanks, dunhac82

Well, people were right when they guessed it would be on the cover; they were just a little bit off on the date.

The individuals speaking in the podcast are a bunch of arrogant...I'll leave it at that.

Anyway, good to know that the cover story will in fact, be Diablo III.

Why does everyone keep trying to discredit someone's opinions?
If they don't like it then they should just leave it at that.

No need to flame. lol

I like the petition, not because I'm in favor of it.. but because it lets people think they have a say in what's going on.
Whether they do or not.. that's up for debate, but it gives them hope.

>.<

Blizzard will provide what they think is right.
That's their job as a game company.. they need to know what works in a game that THEY are making.

It will rock.
Period. ^_^

ALRIGHT! Now someone needs to do some RESEARCH.

How long after a game is "cover story" before it gets released? Average time!

Forget about this being Blizzard - I just want to see some numbers!

HEY THERE, NAME LOOK FAMILIAR? Seems like someones being a hypocrite? Why not leave my opinion to myself as well then? hm? I mean sure the people are entitled to there opinion with the petition, so therefore I'm entitled to my opinion that the petition is ridiculous. edit: @eldius: Why are they arrogant? Because they counter your opinion with valid points? The former EIC Greg Vederman, The biggest diablo fan ever, thinks its a stupid petition.

Well, to put it bluntly, they acted like **** and basically spat in the faces of everyone who addressed key points of concern through their signing of that petition. Secondly, why should we care about what Greg Vederman thinks? Biggest Diablo fan? I doubt it.

[b]Edit by Medievaldragon[/b]: Guys, just a reminder.  The moderators also have the right to express themselves, and they don't voice it posting in this thread. They voice their point of view with the ban-stick.  If some people love the loose tongue to call others kids, idiot, etc. you are openly in violation of the DiabloFans forum etiquette.

Don't complain if your forum posting privileges are removed either with temp-ban or perma-ban.

Eldius. You have a pro-petition signature. You were not asked to remove it. You got the freedom to talk about it on this board. Don't complain about others voicing their counter-petition voice, specially Greg's.  The forum didn't have to care about the petition or your signature either.  Yet most people is tolerable of other's opinion. Each has a different view and wish. Leave it at that.  Removed the insult ...

I think they pretty much apologized at the end of the Diablo 3 bit but w/e. And I think a former EIC of the Best selling PC gaming magazine on the planet may have a valid opinion people might want to listen to? And, fine then you show me the Biggest Diablo fan because it sure as hell isn't anyone on that petition.

In regards to the petition, the only opinions that matter are those who signed it, and those at Blizzard who read it.

Wow, you guys want to start an argument over anything, they were fairly neutral apart from some stupid comments mainly by Kristen. They didn't "pwn" anyone, they even agreed that they could see why the fans of the original games could possibly be unhappy with the change in direction and AGREED that it was influenced by WoW probably to attract a wider audience. I don't see the problem with the podcast and don't think they were being particularly arrogant or condescending.
