Don't you guys think that Blizzard, who is one of the most successful video companies of all time, set up a budget plan before they started Diablo 3? I'm sure there are some brainiacs over there that figured out how much the game would cost to design, edit, distribute, maintain, etc. I'm sure they also planned their income from game sales, merchandise, etc.

Arguing for or against Pay to Play seems moot.

U should understand that d2 is still a money maker for blizzard the value of the game is still at 39.99 in most retail stores, however due to the developement of d3 they no longer have an interest in d2, therefore don't support it. Example; torches came to play at 07 I believe, that's 7 years after its release. Blizzard will support the game weather its p2p or 1 time pay. I also think its a bad move for blizzard as well to make it p2p because that's when they compete with wow which is a bad marketing stategy, this way they can appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers

That's a good point. Having 2 p2p games might make people drop one or the other. Now, people won't feel guilty playing a free game between raiding nights.

Umm if your that tight on money fuck off and stop playing video games lol

But yes i understand the concern about ok well im only going to play a bit this week because im busy with stuff thats always been fucking horrible, i belive you should be able to buy xxxx ammout of hours, and they activate when your actually playing . This way your times not ticking away while your not playing, but then blizzard dosent make as much money... some games do actaully do that though and you buy ,xx ammout of play time and it ticks as you play and not constantly while your not on.
