10 years too late.

And this used to be a bannable offense. Good to see Bliz wake up.

Tempist5802d ago

Drekken5802d ago

Daver5802d ago

@ Drekken

H-V-H5802d ago (Edited 5802d ago )

Hey Drekken whats 2+2 ?

Just kidding

Alexander Roy5802d ago

Finally another game that has the balls to say "Who needs a crack?"!
Okay, it's quite late, but better late than never.
If people want to play without the CD/DVD in drive, they will do so anyway.
Thumbs up Blizzard!

Nitrowolf25802d ago

10 years, 10 freaken years wos that to late

for those that know about programs like daemon tools

shadowfish5802d ago

Ever played D2 on Battle.net? It recognises if you had a CD in or not, and if you were using Daemon tools, Battle.net wouldn't run without some mega-hex-editing.

What Can Diablo IV Learn From Diablo II

Diablo IV may be the latest entry from the Diablo series, but it can sure learn a thing or two from the iconic Diablo II. Both of these games are different and similar to each other, but Diablo II's phenomenal presence should still be more appearing in Diablo IV to make the game even better in its current state.

Diablo 2 Receives 60 FPS Update Thanks To A New Mod

A fan-run initiative called Project Diablo 2 has brought a 60 FPS update for the classic Diablo title, among other changes.

1nsomniac371d ago

Boo! Thought this was eventually a patch for diablo2 on PS5. The fact that they can’t get that game to run in quality mode at 60fps is an absolute joke!

The game is still $25 +. I'm waiting for it to drop to the actual value of the product.

Quickstrike641d ago

I would still feel ripped off getting it for free.

MadLad640d ago

It's an awesome RPG they did a good job to modernize.
You may not want to play it, but it doesn't mean you need to act all edgy and crap on it.

anast640d ago

D2 is a masterpiece. I want to play it but it is still too much of an ask right now.

sourOG641d ago

I can’t fault activision on this one. “Hostile” for the delay in recognizing their power lmao. Yikes. Good luck with that MS.

coolbeans641d ago

This attitude is why I'm not a big fan of the MS/Acti deal: you're essentially rewarding repulsive higher-ups with golden parachutes versus absorbing talent like the inXile/Obsidian deals.

MadLad640d ago

But the Acquisition is actually ousting these people; allowing the company to move forward.

The current shareholders, despite all the toxicity and both public and internal outcry, just voted in Kotick yet again.

coolbeans640d ago

That's a fair positive, but part of me still hoped their misdeeds would've bit them on the ass in a more damaging way.

MadLad639d ago

Oh, I agree.
I would love nothing more to see someone like Kotick fired on the spot with every employee giving him a kick in the balls on the way out the door.

Unfortunately the world revolves around money, and he made the company a lot of it. Thus the jackass is still around.
