> Diablo 1 did effectively create the genre as far as the history of gaming is concerned Ha, no. Legend (1992), Tower of Souls (1995), Dragonstone (1994),... And that was just on the Amiga/Atari/PC. I guess people more familar with consoles have many more examples. |

> Ha no.
This is unceremoniously ungracious and an obvious misinterpretation. Being the first is not the same as genre creation^. The games prior to Diablo 1 shared features, but weren't considered a formula for generating revenue beyond the novel mechanics.
^Herzog Zwei had elements of the modern RTS, but it is not considered genre defining.
