Diablo III in February?

[Jan 08, 2012, 2:17 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Joystiq has an image of a store display in a Rochester, Minnesota Best Buy that seems to show a February 1 launch date for Diablo III, Blizzard's upcoming action/RPG sequel. They have some follow ups that don't completely confirm or deny this, and word that the end-cap was legit, but has since been removed. Meanwhile, the Best Buy Website now shows a February 1 release date for the game.

I just fired up Torchlight, MW3 and Dungeon Defenders with my network cable pulled from the back. Wrong question to ask. Now ask, how often do I have to go offline to play games on Steam? Basically never, less than 1% of the time. Now ask me how many games I play online...most of them. Now, why would I care if Diablo 3 is online only? I don't, because it's probably never going to effect me beyond how any other online game being offline has in the past. While that may be a problem for you, it's not for me. And I don't think it will be for Prez or many others complaining about a persistent connection that online effects single-player. Particularly when the reality is that Diablo 3 is primarily a multiplayer/coop game. Guild Wars requires a persistent connection and is as much an MMO as Diablo3, yet people don't whine about it here and never did when the game was coming out.
