You want the simplest explanation? Everyone has their favorite streamers and most of the "gaming" streamers are still on D4 until BG3 and other titles release. No new significant title has released since D4 so it's the current fomo stream title. Let's check back once another title releases to see how much if a viewership it retains.

thanks. d4 > d2 confirmed by Blake.

!Remindme Baldur's Gate Release Date to check stats.

look imma play bg3 bigly. but if you think these zoomers are gonna be into a turn based rpg for more than 20 mins ur older than i am.

and exilecon is next week + new poe league. bg3 be dead in water.

but.

d4. will remain. for all time.

For two weeks after season start, once in three months, lol.

I highly doubt, D4 is utimate gargabe in every aspect of the game. While D2 for it time was masterpiece.

How many Diablo 3 viewers are there? That's the most likely trajectory seeing as they borrowed almost everything from the previous game. The only end game of d3, rifts, aren't even in D4. This game is gonna be short lived with how poorly the reception of the season has been.

D3 which has more end game content built up from 28 seasons has a grand total of 30 viewers. 28 seasons worth of content and that's all they have to show? D2R didn't get that kind of love. Barely had any content added to that game. Content in the form of a few new runewords, immunity breakers, and terror zones (recycled content of powered up zones), yay. Meanwhile they could have finished act 4 finally, but uh one of the seasons they didn't even add content already. The game was put on maintenance mode before even hitting the fourth season.

Unless they pull something special out of their proverbial magic hat this game most likely won't last past 4 seasons. You really can't afford to fail on the first season of a live service game. Due to the cosmetic buyers they might keep the game on life support longer, but the decision makers have no sense of direction so ultimately it won't matter.

season is 1 day old.

Lets check back in a week and post then

Don't worry folks, D4 is saved!!

Yeah that is kinda low. I remember first month of D4 release in June, trading section were 350 to 400 users.

Season 1 supposed to mean something where the real race begins? But it’s fading and only 200 users trading, I guess blizzard don’t want pple to trade even in game gold.
