I won’t lie, I was really enjoying D4 until the end. And then I just kinda went slack jawed because… oh, its a cliffhanger. They’re never going to resolve this, are they? Season Passes? No. This is fucked. Oh well…
If you’re talking about Swery’s D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die, that whole business still depresses me to this day. He signed on to make a Kinect-focused episodic adventure game (never do episodic anything, at least we’ve all learned this by now) only for it to come out just after Microsoft finally dumped the stupid thing
The whole debacle soured Swery’s relationship with his old company and he got hoofed after the unsuccessful PC version and his career has never really recovered
They intend on yearly, or at least 1.5ly expansions. Probably to get to the point where Diablo is in Diablo. And I’d imagine they’re lesser in scope than what was done before, because again, yearly. Paid expansions and they claim two are in the works, but I’m taking that as they’ll try to release one in 2024 (regardless of quality), maybe push one out in 2025 or 2026, but if D4 is crashing and burning, there would be no more than that. If its doing great for them, they’ll continue expansions through 2020s and maybe make earlier versions/the base game F2P or whatever. Because battle pass.

I’ve never played that game, but now I’m intrigued.
No, I’m talking about Diablo 4.
The only exception is for Toby Fox
