The only place that could occur with no liability would be a courtroom. And that's if neither party request the files sealed after the suit is concluded, if ATVI doesn't settle out of court, or if Afrasiabi is sued directly by a victim in a separate suit or criminal complaint.

    Not directed at you, but at those in general who seek details - you have no rights to details, Blizzard, like any corporation, has severe legal liabilities disclosing anything in a case like this, and the rights of privacy to the victims supersedes your need to know more. Blizzard has no duty or responsibility to publish specifics. I get people are curious (and there are many here who just want salacious info because they get off on it), but the public has no right to any of it.

    This ^^^ D2R is closer to SCR then WC3R
    and the SCR was bloody amazing.

    it is not that is is "imposible" it is that we live in a very different age of the internet, where back in the day having someones IP was not really that much of a big deal, these days it is, all games in the past you literally were just able to see anyone and everyones IP no problem, but that is a major security risk these days.

    its like how when i was a kid and the economy was far better we literally used to leave our door unlocked all the time except for bedtime, now adays you leave it locked all the time.

    Blizzard supports mods in the sense that they let you do it, but they don't offer any support for them beyond that. If you want to keep playing your modded game by all means keep using your classic client. If you want to play the official D2 game with updated graphics and such buy D2R. Again, total nonissue. You're just being outraged for the sake of it. You can keep on doing exactly what you're doing.
    I know pircacy is rampant there. There was like one person having bought D2 at lan parties back then and everyone else only used that one version.

    Beside from that i'm not outraged. I don't even plan to buy the game and I ddn't play any mods. I just wanted to explain why removing that feature isn't just 'nothing', since the people that kept D2 alive to this day are the modders and their community.
    And after the final hype will die off, from d2:r there isn't anyone who will keep it alive now.

    Diablo 2:R will now be about a 4 hour long campaign (if you even need this long) and then defeating the last boss over and over again.

    There's a reason it's not really out there anymore.
    Yeah private minecraft servers dont exist and no game has p2p anymore. Gj making up shit to simp for a company...

    Holy shit an ARPG is about farming? I never would have guessed. My goodness. Someone should tell those fine folks over at GGG and the millions of people who run the 10 hour campaign (if you even need that long) every 13 weeks and then farm the same content over and over again. >.> That's kind of the point of the genre just so you know. So yes it really really really is a non-issue. TCP/IP in games died years and years ago.

    Imagine how successful Poe would be nowadays is killing Kitava would be the only sort of "endgame"? The problem with lack of local gameplay is (which I've mentioned earlier already) is the fact that there is zero endgame, you farm the same zone over and over with no increase on any field (exp, drops, difficulty). TP/IP gave Diablo2 it's longevity because of mods. Without it, everyone will forget about this remaster after few weeks.

    Again: One guy says one thing (which turned out to be reasonably true given that many people wanted massive changes to Classic). That's not the whole company. Besides Brack is now gone so I guess that means that Blizzard isn't arrogant any longer. Dumb logic.

    If you've got a lot of specific instances where this was said in public by anyone other than Brack let's see them. You said they say it a lot. I know it gets repeated a lot but I'm only aware of the one time.

    Good job, you laid down and slept on the highway and didn't get killed. Clearly there's no risk in doing it again.
    @thwart <- don't click this and learn his shame
    Newsflash: 2016 Thwart would hate 2019 Thwart! Definitely don't click this either!

    We see you.

    But that was the endgame for a LOT of people. Not even farming a zone, just one boss. Coming home from work and doing half an hour of pindle runs to calm down. D2 was all about farming.

    Yes, I agree that it was an endgame back them. However this won't be enough today. Thus why I believe that in the long run (unless that's their plan) this game will be bought and forgotten.

    Some will leave, some will play from time to time, some will play at ladder reset then leave, and some will nolife it for few hours a day. Does it even matter how many people will play it? Its not like MMO where you need other people to raid or do dungeons.

    You're right though at least for me mods gave it a lot more fun after completing original game (anybody remember New Dawn?) these years back. I'm kinda disappointed with their decision but ofc I don't speak for everyone.

    Classic Blizzard move trying to make a definitive edition of a game by remaking it and removing features even the original had

    Now they're removing ultra-wide support as well because games in 2021 still have to be forced to run at 16:9 somehow (nah just kidding, only Blizzard does that)

    Might as well play the original with D2DX instead of supporting this mess of a company any further

    Imagine needing every little bit of good PR you can get your hands on, this maybe being a last ditch effort and not even being able to pull that off without bullshit after bullshit

    Honestly, forget this comnpany - let's try to fondly remember past Blizzard titles and move on by supporting developers that deserve it.

    At this point I'm really not sure if you are just trolling

    That's the definition of a strawman. Also, those cases aren't called sexual harassment. Situations like that are called fraternization.

    Out of curiosity, does no TCP/IP actually mean no mods, or just no mods with multiplayer?
