Really? From my read of the article it seemed like most of the staff at Blizzard was incredibly immature and the kind of folks that bury their heads in the sand while ignoring reality.

And just to double down on my unpopular opinion, Diablo 1 was the best game in the franchise.

>“Diablo 1 was the best game in the franchise."

That is a bold statement, but I am inclined to agree. Obviously D2 is bigger, prettier, has more varied classes, more items, more everything. I absolutely adore that game, and I have spend hundreds and hundreds of hours playing it.

But the original... It just has that darker and more grim, less cartoons tone. Plus it came out when I was 10 years old, which obviously influences my opinion a lot.

for me, D2 is the better game in that it is fun and addictive to play, while D1 is much more atmospheric.

I was 9. It's one of my favorite games ever. I lost interest in D2 pretty quickly, but I still come back to D1 every few years. I made my wife play it too and after about an hour she was hooked and became inseparable from the computer until beating the game a week or two later.

I say the EXACT thing about StarCraft (vs. StarCraft 2).

I never got into SC, but yeah definitely.
