Stick a fork in it, it's done.

I tried to like Diablo 3, mainly because I enjoyed the first two.

However D3 has made it abundantly clear that Blizzard is now just another corporate conglomerate ran by bean counters that care more about sucking their fans' bank accounts dry, rather than about making fun games, building a good reputation, and a lasting business.

I predict we'll read no more stories about how Blizzard developed a game and then tossed it out because it simply wasn't fun. Those days are long gone.

The guy that tossed out games because they weren't fun?

Bill Roper.

The guy that made the first two Diablos fun?

Bill Roper.

The separation of him (and much of his team) and Blizzard benefited no one. Well, I guess the guys that then stepped in his shoes, but that's about it.

Yeah because Hellgate London worked out so well. Oh wait.
