As for the good ol' days, yeah I remember but you are forgetting a critical difference from then and now: Publishers have a lot more money now than they could dream back then. As such publishers today do have the financial means to create a server structure that could withstand D3's flood of gamers in the first day. That they didn't either smells of cutting costs or pure negligence and I'm not sure which one is worse when it comes to security.

Do you know how difficult it is to launch a project of this magnitude? You think every problem in the world can be solved by throwing money at it? Just because there's a problem, then there must be something sinister behind it? It's overwhelmingly negative attitudes like this, that every move a large company makes is an attempt to personally fuck you, that reeks of self entitlement.

No developer is immune from this. It's like when ANet released the GW2 beta. You have people complaining that ANET is dirty and hiding a shitty game because only pre-purchasers are allowed in the beta.

It's not that people don't have a right to complain. It's just that the magnitude of bitching and degree of resentment is disproportional to the offense. It's like the first world problem meme. And holy shit does it get annoying.
