A rep from Blizzard just sent me notice that there would be no more announcements at BlizzCon tomorrow (Saturday), so for those of you (ie: all of you) who were hoping that this would be the day that Diablo 3 was finally confirmed, I'm sorry to inform you that you'll have to continue to wait. We all know that it's eventually coming, but the waiting for the official confirmation of the third game along with some idea of what it will be like is a really hard thing to wait for. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured it would be best to tell you about this now rather than have you guys waiting around all day Saturday hoping that we'd hear more about Diablo 3. Thanks for sticking with us though... Blizzard is listening to us and sooner or later (ok, later) Diablo 3 will become a reality.
In other Blizzard-related news, the rep just sent me word that our own Umaro participated in the first-ever Starcraft II tournament with Loc Teinh (from w3roc.com) on his team and won in the first round, but they were unfortunately defeated in round 2 by TeamLiquid. The overall winner of the tournament was TeamLiquid who were then given the opportunity to play Karune and Stephen Chang from the eSports team. TeamLiquid wasn't able to defeat them though. Unfortunately there's no replay video footage from this tournament, but maybe that will change later on.
More news as it becomes available.
Sad Diablo indeed. (thanks to Zabadak for sharing this image with us)
Another one of my greatest worries coming true.. I'm starting to lose faith here, people.

There is nothing that denies that Diablo 3 is going to come out. Besides think of the money they would make just in the first week of sales? That alone will make creating Diablo 3 worthwhile.
Does anyone know how much Diablo 2 cost Blizzard to make? Last I remember Diablo 2 sold 16 million copies, I originally bought mine for $49.99 so 49x16million= $799,840,000.
I know Ps3 and Xbox360 games cost around $10,000,000 to make, I can assume Diablo 2 was cheaper then making high polygon console games, Blizzard made bank.
Chaos is right. What more, my greatest hope is that D3 will not only be the greatest game to come out for another 5 years even, (believing it would come out this year) but also that it would over shadow WoW, regradless to its potential genre intentions- Whether d3 will come out as an mmo or not, I still wish it would overcome this one obstacle along its way. Some I've heard while doing some time in WoW fear Diablo will bring a sequel that would obliderate WoW's population, reducing it more than quite a bit. So while Blizzard struggles to make the "next big one", (D3 or not) it would also have to consider the impact on their current world hit's population's overall point of view. I haven't truly checked this estimation , but I'm quite sure many Diablo 'followers' quit D2 mainly because of WoW. In the end, what would come of D3, mmo or not, will be a considerable threat to WoW, and vice versa.
This is gonna get dirty..

i hope they (blizzard) looks at this thread and notices that there are almost 1500 posts and 61,000+ views when the thread is talking about how it's not coming out at blizzcon...
it will most likely be announced when starcraft 2 comes out, or when the WoW movie comes out. hopefully it will be announced next summer or in 2 hours. however, that's my prediction
:rolleyes:

I thought I read 18 million copies somewhere. Lol you think 16 mil is something? Imagine what Diablo 3 would have in the first year
