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 don't disagree that their "could" be an offline option. I do disagree that people should raise their fists and stand up to the man in defiance of the persistent online required for what I primarily consider a multiplayer/coop game. Because in reality, that is what many here are calling for, and in my eyes they look kind of ridiculous doing it.

I don't see a throng of people calling for a boycott here. I think most people just want their concerns satisfied, even if they get a bit angry at being dismissed out of hand by other posters. I'm very interested in purchasing Diablo 3 but I'd like to see them address a better method of handling disconnection than what I encountered in the beta. I'm sure most other people would be swayed too if the options were not take it or leave it. That's part of the reason people tolerate your Steam example, Steam allows for the very real possibility that you will need offline functionality at some point. Most people are reasonable when a company shows that they will meet you in the middle.

Why is it that when someone disagrees with you, you present them as the unreasonable bad guy?

I don't do that so can't help you with it
