I've played Diablo 2 for longer than Windows XP has graced this planet. I've purchased and re-purchased it approximately 5 or 6 times, at varying prices. I'll probably continue to play it with my friends for the next couple years until a game finally topples it.

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.
