You crunched numbers that you made up with no basis, that means you are wrong lol.

Although I agree you don't need monthly subscribers to power a game(if you have a large enough player base)


d2 has sold 4 million copies world wide
wow has 12 million subscribers
and sc2 sold 1.8 million the first day and is estimated up to 7 million before the year ends

blizzard has become incredibly popular over the years of WoW and now w/ sc2 having been released. So I'm willing to bet that diablo 3 will near 8 million sales EASILY over 2 years. If you wanna call bullshit on 8 million, then look at 4 million which is less than or equal to what sc2 has sold right now. and $256,000,000 is plenty as well...

even if you were right, 4 million is more like $200,000,000
and what about the thousands and thousands of man hours put in to the game, the costs of shipping them to distributors, the cost of hundreds of powerful servers running 24/7 indefinitely, that costs nothing?

4 million x 60 bucks is 240 million. d3 WILL be 60 bucks because d2 was the first pc game to cost 60 bucks, at least one of the first if not the. and the the admin payroll, man hours, shipment and such come from previous games... idk what you're trying to disprove, blizzard would have no trouble supplying revenue from other games to power another, because in the end they will ALWAYS profit in vast amounts.

I did the exact same thing, but I continued because anger swelled up inside of me.

If Diablo 3 is a Pay to Play game, I will not buy it, even though I have played every single one since they came out.

If Diablo 3 is a Pay to Play game, I will consider it a better version of WoW, I mean why not, the graphics are the same, the level cap is the same, THE PRICE THE SAME? I DON'T THINK SO!

IF DIABLO 3 IS A PAY TO PLAY GAME, I WILL CRY!

No matter p2p or b2p there will be hackers and scammers. So fuck it just make it b2p and lets enjoy the game for what it is :)
