However, I think he has a point about replayability. What's the point of making a new guy once you have all classes at level 60? Which probably won't take more than 6 months even for casual players.
Ok, so every character type leveled to 60... finishing Inferno? I do not agree that casual players will do this in 6 months. As a matter of fact I don't think most "casual" players will even get more than one character to 60 (if any) before they stop playing (more likely several in the 20s and several in the 30s). Casual gamers probably won't make it through Hell difficulty before getting side tracked by something else.
Also, keep in mind that there is almost 100% certainty that there will be an expansion pack for this game (if you put any faith at all in the "leaked" Blizzard time line then you will probably believe there will be two expansions for it - which would not surprise me in the slightest).
The ability to control how much enjoyment you get out of D3 and how fast you churn through it is in your hands. Don't blame Blizzard if you rush through. From everything I've seen they are giving us a very nice game with a ton to do especially considering they added the 4th difficulty level, crafting, etc.
