    Didn’t they do that years ago when the Diablo 1 and 2 devs formed their own studio and made Torchlight 1 and 2? And then went under because the games didn’t sell enough and the IP got sold to some shady company who made it into a weird, half assed MMO?

    From the article, it seems that the “big thing” they’re betting on will be mods, or “user generated content” in bznz speech, which neither Diablo 4 nor Path of Exile 2 can offer, what with being live services.

    So are they basically going to wipe my mind so that I can rediscover the mouse click loot based ARPG genre again? It was a good genre, but it just so happens that improvements in performance and capability have made other genres more entertaining for me.

    I swear the next headline is going to be like ex devs of pong to make a new game.

    I’m getting so jaded by all these ex dev new game posts.
