Indeed, I see no other option, bro.

haha, poe2 gonna destroy the dumpster fire that is d4.

PoE2 isn’t bad but it won’t tear me away from the series. It’s a little more player friendly than PoE was but definitely won’t replace D4 for me.

Both will be shit

Diablo 4 is funny can't believe ppl bought that game, but idk easy to fool people these days, poe2 is obviously better..

Seeing turd fergusson rage about in on X .com has me laughing, "Diablo-Like"

that guy is absurd trying to take credit for anything Diablo, like he came up with the name or the story or the music

imagine piggy backing off someone else's IP and trying to claim it like you were an original creator, guy is a nutcase

The OG creators haven’t created anything relevant since Diablo 2. The closest to it was Torchlight and all of them sucked except TL 2.

Let’s see the record:

People said PoE would dethrone Diablo - It didn’t

People said Grim Dawn would dethrone Diablo - It didn’t (although it is my second favorite isometric arpg of all time)

People said Titan Quest would dethrone Diablo - It didn’t

People said Last Epoch would dethrone Diablo - LOL! It didn’t.

People said Lost Ark would dethrone Diablo - It didn’t.


I hope people are seeing the pattern. Diablo is so entrenched in the genre it’s very unlikely it will ever be dethroned.

No different than CoD in the fps genre or WoW in the mmorpg genre. Diablo will live for a very long time on the name.

Here’s an interesting topic. PoE is free(huge advantage) and has supposedly hundreds of thousands of players on at any given time but makes only 40-50 million after tax profit a year. It’s safe to say a large amount of its playerbase does not financially support the game whatsoever. Is it because they don’t believe in the product? Is it because they don’t have money? Either way it’s a very sad notion for the future of the series when you make less and less every year.

Diablo on the other hand is a buy to play game WITH micro transactions just like PoE has micro transactions but somehow gets people to buy the game, the expansion and STILL spend more on the shop than a f2p game.

Is it truly bad if people are funding it? Or is it just opinions of the individual? Regardless D4 is and continues to be a financial success in the very least.

That could've been written by me.

Just pointing out the facts. No one is a “Diablo Killer” until it happens and history is on Diablo’s side.

D4 already died. They made a bunch of money on initial sales. It was just on sale for like $30 on steam, the xpac that just released was also on sale.

POE making 50 million in profits seems pretty sweet for a game that is free to play.

Diablo 4's target audience is the lowest common denominator, who else would pay for early access, the game, and expansion and it still doesn't include DIABLO..

Hey but just wait I'm sure once you pay for a few more xpacs you'll get a Diablo in this "Diablo-like" game..

Turd Fergeson is big mad about Poe2, because it's exposing his triple AAA failure, D4 can't compete with Poe2, I'm not even a PoE fan, I just recognize the facts.
