Ok show the direct timestamp in a video, or an article (with his quote) saying he worked AGAINST action combat.
lol wut.. find it yourself. Watch post mortem of D2 he gives a speech and talks about it. I'm not about to rewatch some speech to find a timestamp because you've never heard him or the other creators discussing the development of the game.
it took 2 seconds for me to google it.
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/08/war-stories-how-diablo-was-almost-a-turn-based-strategy-game/which if you dont want to watch a video states pretty clearly what Brevik said

As Brevik explains, it came down to a simple show of hands in the office at the end of a long week. Brevik and perhaps two or three others wanted to keep the game turn-based, and more than a dozen others voted to convert the title into a real-time game.
When you tell your boss you think its a bad idea then vote against something that everyone else on your team votes for, you are by definition "working against action combat"
