Deckard Cain Lives?
_Krypt_ has shared a crazy theory of his on Reddit - that Deckard Cain might somehow still be alive in the Diablo world! The idea comes from an easter egg in the Overwatch map Route 66, where a paper in the wall contains a barcode that when scanned gives the "Cain Lives" message.
However, many users have replied arguing that the Overwatch team would not be creating Diablo lore like this, and that this could be an old easter egg, referencing to the fact that Cain lives when the meteor first falls into the Cathedral instead of his post death status. Check the photos below.
Keep in mind this is all speculation. But what are your thoughts? Random unrelated easter egg? Or possibly a real hint of the franchise's future?
This can be found at the Map Route66 in Overwatch:

If you scan the barcode you'll get this:

Just an easteregg or a serious hint? :-)

Posted Jun 1, 2016It's said in the actual post, but I guess it's good to reiterate: this is probably just crazy speculation and very unlikely an actual hidden hint of the franchise's (lore) future. Take it with a grain of salt - it's meant to be a more fun discussion rather than a serious one imho.
The theories posted there (specially this one on Belial) are particularly crazy and entertaining.

Posted Jun 1, 2016The only problem is the check is signed with the date of 5/15/12, which was the release day of diablo 3, and technically deckard cain was "still alive", since he dies in the first act of diablo 3.

Posted Jun 2, 2016The Date 5/15/12 is the day Diablo 3 came out, and the signature is Deckard Cain. Writing a $5 dollar check for Burning Hells Delicious flapjacks.
