Diablo is dead - I would like to shutter this community. (lemmy.world)

I played Diablo, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, and Diablo 4, all on their respective launch days. I really enjoyed the first two, and kinda hated the third one until they fixed all the bullshit. However, Diablo 4 was a piece of shit from day one. I enjoyed it for approximately 10.724 days. Rounding up. I'm absolutely done with Blizzard. I don't know what happened to what used to be an absolutely gobsmacking lip pulling jaw dropping studio, but it's clear that the suits took it over and fucked it.

Anyway, I'm gonna leave this open for a while, and give me your thoughts on whether I should leave this open or ask the admins to kill this community.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to step away. I'm not playing any Diablos at the moment either. But many of us were also done with D3 before it course corrected.

Outright shuttering the community would be short-sighted. If you're absolutely 100% sure you're done, then you may want to step down, but I also feel like that might be something you eventually come to regret. The future is uncertain.

I'd ask you keep the community going. Just discovered it, will be contributing threads when season 4 drops

Don't close a community. Give it to those who would still run it. Ask your fellow mods if they want to run it.

Considering they just announced major changes to the game that people have been asking for, maybe just give it a minute.

I’ve been waiting for this. Before buying the game. I didn’t like d3 at launch. So I waited a few years to play it again and liked it so much more. I figured the same thing would happen with Diablo 4

Planning to. I don't do anything spur of the second or minute or hour. I will wait patiently to see what the prevailing mood is, especially giving weight to my fellow moderators, if they haven't just left.

What did they announce?

Ignore the clickbait title. This will SAVE the game, not kill it. It was already dead.

I for one like the small communitys that are based on one game etc so I vote don't close it.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

So far, it's looking like I will not be shuttering this community. Instead I will look to give it to someone else who hasn't lost their passion for Diablo.

Diablo 4 content isn't the only thing that can be posted, I've seen people post content from D2 as well. Don't close the community. Find someone else willing to take it over.

Does the Simpsons community shutter even though most of the fan base agrees they put out 25-30 bad seasons since the peak?

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Alright, I'm just going to step down. Thanks for the comments guys!
