you can say of diablo 2 whatever you want but its fanbase is bigger then BG's




My post was intentionally misleading; I wasn't insulting Diablo 2 as a product. What I meant was, by the time it was released, it was hardly "state of the art". There were already Diablo clones floating around; there were not-quite-Diablo-clones like PS:T and BG. Diablo 2 was nothing new, nothing innovative; it simply was.

I will not, of course, go into the typical "people who play Diablo 2 have lesser intellect than the ones who play BG or PS:T" rant.

Steam is Valve's "Sollution to piratism" In the future their games will only be released via steam, Steam is a free tool with wich you can download their games after having payed for it.

It downloads the games in some sort of cache, meaning it's useless without your steam account

this way updates and patches will be automaticly installed, and copying will be futile.




Sounds like they'll lose customers who happen to still be using 56k. And yes, some people still do.

winterfox, your right about d2 not being original
but that doesn't have to mean that it isn't a good game.

you will still be able the games, but also requiring some server authentication etc, this is just a project in devlopement

1 thing is for sure, they try at least, can't be told for the record companies they anlu sue you.

Well, thank goodness we aren't getting into people that play X have a greater intellect than people that play Y, because that's a loosing battle. Many people, myself included, play both. I probably prefer Baldur's Gate type games on the whole, but as far as Diablo and Diablo 2 go...I CERTAINLY got my money's worth. I can't think of any other game in which I've logged as many hours playing as I have those two. With the ability to make multi-player games with your friends on Blizzard's nice FREE servers, and find items that weren't available in the offline game...I played again and again. Being able to password your game and just play with your buddies, it was a blast.

There is room for all these sorts of games in the market. Or the developers wouldn't be making them.

LoL.

I find Pacman harder than Tetris, though. *chuckles*
