The game looked fun and I knew the servers would get fixed eventually. I just waited two weeks before purchasing the game.
Honestly, I haven't regretted it and it's the most fun in a game I've had in a long time.

D3 was terrible at launch and turned into a great game. Dragonflight in wow is a great xpac.
Like all companies blizzard has it's down sides and good sides. Historically except for immortal, diablo always turns out ok.
I'm enjoying diablo 4. D4 is not made for power gamers. It's made for dads and moms who are now in their 40s and have kids. Most of us aren't even in t3 yet. Hell a few weeks ago only a small percent actually completed the campaign! For us the game is great. It will get good for the hardcores soon.
@Zuberi. Beyond the DDOS attack there other day I've only seen a bit of lag once or twice, no disconnects. Maybe I'm playing at less busy times. I do wish it had an offline mode but so far it's not caused much trouble for me. As for why....I had been talking about it coming up with some friends and my wife asked what I was talking about. A few days later she surprised me with it as a gift.
I'll be fair and admit that Blizzard still makes great games, but their monetization model and business practices are some of the vilest in the history of gaming, and I will no longer support them because of this.
Diablo IV is actually cheaper than Diablo II was if you consider inflation. No idea what everyone is on about. Even Nintendo 64 games cost just a little bit less than what Diablo IV was priced on launch. And when did the N64 release? Game ain't as expensive as people make out.
To be clear, there is no monetization in D4 except skins in game. This is the first blizzard game since D3 for me, so I'm having a blast.
I bought D4 because I had bonus points that could be converted into PayPal, so it cost me nothing.
I've been playing it pretty casually and I must say I'm not very impressed. I think D3 is better.
I believe it has a lot of potential but it shouldn't be a $70 to $100 game with a battlepass and mtx.
