    i actually see no valid reason at all. its their game and their money(and of their investors not yours). they can do what they want with it.

    "Because they tell us nothing and treat us like children?"
    they told us a lot actually we know almost everything about the game exept the rune system and the story.
    but maybe they should treat you like children because you are kinda behaving like one (and i dont mean you specifically)

    "Because the richest, most successful game company in the world can't commit to a time table?"
    they are able to not commit to a time table because they are rich , successful and their good reputation otherwise their investors would stop the moneyflow. and i already wrote something about the money part

    I agree with all you have said, harmonica. I see a lot of whining going on, but its all nonsense.

    It's really pathetic to say that Blizzard just wants to make money, yet at the same time is just messing with its fans and not releasing the game (implying that it is already done).
    Patches could help fix bugs and could easily tweak the game, this is true. But could simple patches rework the PVP system, the rune system, entire skills, and other various things they're currently working on that are major parts of the game?
    Yeah, patches could do that, but they would be very big, very time consuming, and many problems could erupt from doing that [i.e. in DII people whined about how the necromancer's quantity of skeletons was greatly reduced with a patch (along with other undesirable fixes), so they went onto a private server or started modding the game themselves, which took away many players from Battle.net].

    That's not a big deal, you might think, but it ruins the quality of the experience players. If they released a half-assed game (where Diablo III probably is at right now), yeah, they could patch it up like crazy and make it great, I'm sure. But on the release of the game, if everyone in the world were to buy it and see that it is crappy, they'll drop it like that and move onto another game. By the time Blizzard can patch up the game to a point that it is satisfactory, the player population will have dried up a lot and their reputation is compromised. Their future games will not be as welcomed. (Hellgate London was a fantastic game, but it was half-assed and was quickly thrown to the side).

    You're mad and crying about a game that is a big part of your life, and I can understand that. I played Diablo II for an upwards of eight years, and it was a huge part of my life during high school. The game is a big deal to us, otherwise we wouldn't be on a fan site.
    But, having pre-ordered Diablo III (which most of you haven't even done yet, therefore you haven't lost anything and should shut up), I want the game to come out and completely blow my mind as it should. Do I want to play it right now? **** yeah, but if Blizzard thinks it isn't satisfactory yet (and I think they know more about building games than everyone here), I'll focus on other important things to me, like school, work, my girlfriend, my small business, the family, reading books, and other random games until I can get my hands on a complete version of Diablo III, not a blasphemous less-than-adequate version of it.

    Grow up, people. This game is going to be ****ing incredible, so kick back and relax and don't have a heart attack. It's coming, that is for sure.
