    If you have a more exact number please post it. I used those numbers since they are a good part away from it's official release, I doubt that they sold more than 1 million copies after that date, but if I am wrong, please go ahead and correct me.
    So you base your arguments on numbers that are most likeley not correct and not complete... ok.

    Anyway even if they "just" sold 4 millions, back in that day the gaming industry wasn't as big as today and even less people had internet to play diablo2 online.
    It's like if you say a millionaire 100 yes ago didn't have much money because now a million is not nearly as much as it was back in those days.


    But like I said ... sold copies on release are not realy a good indicator if a game is good or successfull or not... the fact that diablo2 is still played 12 years ago by alot of people and people claiming that diablo2 is still way better than diablo3 speaks for its success.

    Diablo3 was sold so much because of Blizzards and Diablo2s reputation, not because it is a good game. Get over it already.

    No he is wrong. They sold 17 million copies of D1, D2 and Lod.
    I linked it the last page.

    Again, please get your facts straight before spewing bullshit.

    Diablo 3 was sold for 10 dollars 3 months after its release and given away for free to wow subscribers. It is a disaster. It is and eyesore. It was a flop. You can shout until you are blue in the face and none of that will change.

    Lets cross our fingers and hope Ghostcrawler is next on the list.
    I also wish Ghostcrawler will go in the future but looking how people treat him on these forums (next best thing to Jesus) I doubt it. He ruined the game and made it the most unbalanced crap ever.

    In Fact Diablo1+2+Lod sold over 17 million copies.
    Source please.

    And btw the 10.000.000 D3 sold copies in just 6 weeks time is a world record for PC's.

    The fact WoW has an active subscriber base of 10 million players and has probably sold around 30 -40 +million copies by now explains far more than the existence of a decade old game of which most players no longer play video games like D3 as adults.

    Since Morhaime stated that around 1 in 3 players play WoW for longer periods, I think the vast majority of sales came from players who played WoW.

    The active number of D2 players is insignificant compared to present day WoW players.

    I wouldn't feed the number of guys falsely claiming they played D2, because I would be broke in just a few hours.

    The record here was held by a 15 year old who stated he played Diablo 1 at launch and "hated" D3 because it wasn't as good a shooter as the first one.

    The 15 year old was one of the 1/10 voters on Metacritic btw.

    That's the kind of "quality" "user" reviews you get on the internet these days...

    This and vomiting on a man who designed games like Company of Heroes and Dawn of Wars...and Diablo 3 ...

    Get over what? Diablo 2 > Diablo 3. That's my opinion.

    Give me a source stating it sold 4 million copies as of today. Just google it. You will see I am right.

    I linked my sources. Unlike you. And no, 12 year old "sources" (1 year after game release) don't count.
    What the fuck are you talking about? What has WoW to do with this? Are you mentally disabled?

    So instead of containing him in just one game, they let him loose on the rest.

    Damn, it's like Diablo going all over Sanctuary again.

    But maybe ... just maybe he won't be the director of another game and he just was fired or put into something less meaningfull and didn't want to say that.

    In fact he was a liar to begin with, he even lied with his 7 years work for blizzard and so on.
    He insulted a man who created the Diablo franchise in the first place because he constructively said what is wrong with Diablo3.

    So I don't take his words for serious here since he is such an arrogant douche, he won't tell us if finally someone made the decision to dispromote him.


    And to all the "Diablo3 was the best selling game ever":
    Yeah it was, but why? Because of the amazing reputation this franchise and Blizzard had because of Diablo2 and WoW, not because of this man and his "vision" of the game.

    There have not even been a beta for people to try, if there would have been one, i'm completely sure not even half as much games would have been sold.

    This man basically destroyed the legacy of Diablo, destroyed the reputation of blizzard with a crappy game that is not worthy to be the sequell to Diablo2 and even had an attitude that is beyond unprofessional. (The "Fuck that loser" thing).

    People have been fired for way less at blizzard and I still can't understand why they let him in charge after that anyway.



    So tl;dr:

    I'm glad he is finally gone, sadly years too late and since the game is already released and complete there won't be any bigger changes to the core problems of the game, since that would basically mean to recreat half of the game.

    Diablo3 is dead and he is the one to blaim for it.
    yes becouse feeling offended when someone points down hours of hard work is just a pile of crap along with disgusting tweets day in and out and saying something stupid is so odd. Look at your own post your actually 10x worser in attitude then this jay guy and your not coming with any improvements idea just a hillbilly witchhunt comment anyone could say (its hes fault d3 sucks D so tired of these types of useless comments if i was jay i would just want to quit becouse iam sick of the no help all insults methods.

    Hum, I wonder whether Jay Wilson moving out of D3 management was really his own wish or not.

    Surely, the time to move him out would have been after the initial mass complaining about D3 or after the "loser" incident and not now, but still I wonder...

    Anyway, I do believe this is for the better of the Diablo series. D3 was a huge letdown for me, so much that I only managed to play the thing for 2 weeks and came back to grind Dragon Soul afterwards... I indeed heard the game is much better now, and perhaps it will grow to be even better after Jay leaves.

    So, your source that doesn't exist is better than my source that is pulled from wikipedia and is 12 years old? Huh.

    You linked to a wiki article which uses a source that doesn't exist. He is simple asking you for a source. And don't insult people, makes you look childish.

    What you said might have made sense if Diablo 3 was a universally acclaimed game, but the fact is this game has been a PR fiasco up there with SWTOR. The recent decisions regarding PvP and their insistence with bashing a square peg into a round hole regarding it is just the latest in a long line of PR mistakes, and while I don't think for a minute all these mistakes can be laid at his door I don't blame the community for being relieved at seeing Jay Wilson go. We can't say that this shows a change in design philosophy at Blizzard for D3 but if players want to hope, let them.

    My source is Diablowiki. That the source from Diablo Wiki itself doesn't exist anymore is unfortunate but that doesn't make it wrong.
    And yes of course sources have to be up to date. I can't believe you want to prove a point by linking a 12 year old source.
    It is outdated. Diablo 2 came out 2000, your source is from frikkin 2001. Are you being sarcastic and I am missing it?
    I can't go around and say that there have been sold whatever... only 200 computers until now because I use sources from the 1960s.

    I showed you a source of Diablo selling 17 million as of today.
    Show me a single source with 4 million which is up to date.

    My source is also outdated though. Since it is from 2006. So up to this point Diablo probably sold over 20 million copies.

    I don't care if I look childish. You spread misinformation (with no source) and the other guy talks about WoW and Dawn of war whatever. This is not about WoW or any other game.

    can they hope without acting like rude spoiled brats then and be thankful someone put some much work to improve there game exp even if it did not turn out as good as they hoped. There is not many game companies that does so much and interact this much with there fans and the reward back is often insults and threats ?? and they can never say anything harsh themself cause then there a douche! gg community nice logic there.

    So, my source is outdated and thus invalid, your source is outdated but valid? What?

    "VIVGames_EuropeRoadshow_June2006.pdf" your source is from 2006, assuming the number isn't made up, which you haven't proven yet.

    Ok. official source right here:

    http://www.vivendi.com/wp-content/up...iew-2-1-07.pdf

    Straight from Vivendi. 17 million copies as of 2006. Probably more than 20 mil now.

    Please tell me you are trolling... Of course a source from 2006 is more accurate than a source from 2001. Pls tell me you are trolling me.

    Euh... The average professional reviews gave Diablo 3 an average score of 88% and that was before patches 1.04 and patch 1.05 which made the game even better and longer lasting.

    Spare me the so called hundreds of 1/10 Metacritics of so called user reviews as the vast majority were given on the first 3 launching days with such comments as seen above "D3 is the worse(sic) shooter I ever played ..." and "i hate games with drm that I can't copy ... Or "Blizzard sucks..."

    98% of these users gave WoW , COD and others the same idiotic score.

    IGN score was 95%.
