Diablo 3 has been hacked

It’s been a long while since I last read about it, but I recall that eroge is rooted to PC format because attempts to make sales on consoles were general failures on multiple levels (both corporate regulation and people buying them). Same memory recalls polls taken with buyers, revealed an overwhelming preference for Windows OS. I believe the origin for this bias is because of the PC-98 foundations.

In any case… console aren’t the only ones with “gatekeeping” attitudes. If Apple has their way, and the consumer horde that loves them keeps growing, everything from PC’s to phones will be locked down tighter than a virgin Catholic nun. :stuck_out_tongue:

Diablo 3’s online connection DRM fiasco continues overseas:

And another problem:

Wow. Now [i]THAT[/i] is interesting.

Can a game company be held legally liable for a poor title launch? New territory there.

Only Korea, and the sheer level of market dominance Blizzard has in that country, would initiate a move like that.

I can’t wait to see how this turns out. Popcorn?

I think this pretty much sums up the sitation with Diablo 3/Blizzard and the unfortunate folks who bought it.

Yes please. There’s little sweeter than schadenfreude. I hope ROK hits them hard.

#27

lol… major nerf patch hit. You can hear the waaahmbulance from space. :stuck_out_tongue:

#28

All the internet lawyers have come out to play with this new patch. So fun reading how they are going to/waiting for someone to sue Blizzard. Love reading all the reasons they can come up with also. From Bait and Switch, to Fraud, to whatever pops in their minds.

#29

Right on the clock. Blizzard works like clockwork.

And so the Korean fiasco continues:

It seems nothing less than a deal with the devil could save this game :lol: …okay, lame joke but I just couldn’t resist :twisted:

#31

Awesome. 8)

Korea is Blizzard’s biggest customer. This is gonna hurt their wallet bad… and teach that arrogant company a lesson.

Heh… I’m sure BioWare is happy Mass Effect isn’t a big series in Korea, eh?

#32

Ah… interesting. Looks like the French and Germans have cases similar to the South Koreans.

I guess we can safely say this online-DRM experiment was a monumental failure.

I wonder how long it will be, until some ambitious (and greedy) American lawfirm decides to drop a class action lawsuit for the Americans…

Hard to tell if this means Blizzard’s learned anything or not:

My guess is “not” but hey, at least the trainwreck watching can continue, lol

#34

Look what’s for sale:

I keep seeing people crying out that EA will buy them. :roll: EA only has 5.5 billion in cash.

I don’t see Nintendo or Sony wanting something like this… Microsoft could afford it, but I think they’re saving their money for Windows 8 and fighting the mobile/tablet war with Apple.

#36

This just keeps getting better and better.

#37

lol… it’s happening. The Chinese are making D3 playable without an internet connection. :lol:

Blizzard acknowledges one failure:

Funny how quickly blizzard forgets that racers in TBC and beyond rush to lvl cap to do endgame XD

It’s kind of bizarre they wouldn’t anticipate this; I mean, they’ve been running a freaking MMO for ages.
