Calling the game dead toward the end of the season that had the POE reset to compete with, feels unfair.
That being said, Diablofans shutting down merely means there are more popular games out there that they would rather cover.
And I can't blame them -- the mass majority of gamers don't even touch D3 like they used to. Same reason streamers only stream D3 during the resets.
Game is fairly dead I'll admit, but I think it's still worth some game time at least once each season. If not for the gameplay, the fun-times during the race to 70.
