People want a reason to believe Blizzard has treated the Diablo series well when that couldn't be further from the truth.
They didn't have to make a remake all they needed were a few patches throughout the years with a few new runewords but they couldn't even muster that.
Now you won't here any news on Diablo 4 for another year because they'll say, "We fell behind on D4 because of D2R".
It's honestly embarrassing for a billion dollar company to botch a series the way they have with Diablo.
