This is exactly why I got involved and support it on Patreon. I played this a ton as a teenager.

It is also written in my favorite language, Go, which means that on my Mac running Catalina this will likely be the only way to play the game in the future. I couldn't even get the game files without using a High Sierra VM. There's also the impending ARM transition, which this project should also easily support.

Excellent point! I remember back when the original Rosetta was discontinued, and I couldn't play WarCraft 3 on my Mac. Haven't played D2 for a couple of years, but very excited by your points that even ARM can't kill this project. If the OS merges between iPad and Mac then maybe even D2 on iPad using OpenDiablo2. Very cool!
