I still play Diablo 2, as in, I've played it in the last month.
Diablo 2 is a superior game. I'll continue to play D3, but I'm feeling like my $60 would've been better spent on some Indian food and a copy of Torchlight 2 for $20.

Also, he said exactly how much he thinks his $60 is worth in very specific terms: all the Indian food he can buy for $40 and Torchlight 2.
I'll probably give up Diablo 3 by year's end.
Putting aside any attempts to put a 'price' per hour of enjoyment, that is pathetic.
Blizzard should be embarrassed by Diablo 3, they've destroyed the franchise for me as I was worried they would.
I can't trust them to make another game like Diablo or Diablo 2 again. I have to assume that the disintegration of Blizzard North has ruined them.
The consequences here are more serious than my wasted $60. It's about the end of an entertainment dynasty.
They sold like 6.5 million copies. I really don't think they care at this stage.
I blame nobody for prioritizing money, I'm just saying that it's unlikely they'll have me as a customer again.
Its successor in turn can't promise 1 year.
The game is fine as it is - you pay more $$ to get less value from other things in life.
Yet, its not in the same league (at this patch juncture) as D2, its ageing predecessor. Which is what the OP is referring to as shameful.
Thank you for explaining.
