If they can lift DRM on consoles, why not the same for PC? Oh right, CAUSE THEY SUCK.

Action-role-playing game coming to current-generation consoles this fall at $60.
Diablo III will launch on September 3 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Activision announced today. The game was previously only announced for PS3 and PlayStation. It will retail for $60 at launch.
According to Activision, the console versions of Diablo III have been custom-tailored for play with controllers. This includes an all-new user interface and an "intuitive control system."
Diablo III for consoles supports single-player and multiplayer with up to four players via same-screen local play or across PlayStation Network or Xbox Live.
"In addition to the fine-tuning we've done for the console versions, we're also including major content and design updates we've made to the PC version over the past year, so players can expect an epic Diablo gaming experience when the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions launch in September," Blizzard Entertainment CEO Mike Morhaime said in a statement.
Unlike the PC version, the console iterations of Diablo III will not require a constant Internet connection.
Diablo III originally launched for Windows PC and Mac in May 2012. The game has sold more than 12 million copies as of December 31.
Activision has yet to announce a release date for the PS4 version of Diablo III or confirm if the game is also in development for the Xbox One.

Pretty dumb considering that the PS4 and probably Xbox one will be launching around November unless the version of the game is also playable on the PS4 and Xbox One.
@tommynj If MS and Sony keep the DRM bullshit then the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are the best way to go!
I hate anyone with the name "Jay" or the name "Wilson" because of this game...that includes that fucking ball from movie Castaway....
1 Like September? Why would anyone get anymore X360 or PS3 games when Xbone and PS4 will launch on November. Kinda makes 360 and PS3 obsolete.
On the contrary, I somehow feel like it was too soon for next gen consoles....PS3 and 360 still had juice left in it for another year or so maybe.
@berserker66666 Actually with the new systems not being BC.... most will be keeping their PS3 and 360. Also there are still a ton of good games coming to PS3 and 360... and many are the same games going to PS4 and Xbox1. So the real question is how long will gamers hold out on buying a PS4 or Xbox1 when they can get most of the same games on Current Gen? Possibly a very long time. At least until the Next Gen systems show a very strong EXCLUSIVE game library.
@berserker66666 Most people don't actually buy new consoles at launch ya know. Their usually pricey and with very few games to play/
@pal_080 @berserker66666 $350 for PS4. That's cheaper than most launch price. ($400 for Xbone, which IDC)
8 Like I hope all you console-only gamers are not stupid enough to part with your $60 for this POS.
@The_Beanster I hope that all you PC-only gamers stop being stupid enough to support allways on DRM on single player games (by keep buying games that have it) like Diablo 3 PC and Steam games!
2 Like A shit lacklustre game that is over a year old and requires an internet connection, yet its still $60. Meanwhile, Torchlight 2 is available on Steam for $15 and its longer, better and doesn't require the internet.
1 Like @BelaidKL @Prats1993 Its still a bad game tho, and if it doesn't have an auction house, the balancing will be fucked.
@The_Beanster @Prats1993 I would play POE if they installed servers in Australia so I don't get lag. However Torchlight 2 seems to be working fine for me.
Not buying... This is for 2 reasons, reason 1 is the fact that both Rayman Legends and GTA V are released within 2 weeks of this game.. Reason 2 is for what happened to the PC version
not for $60, im not... the game's been out how long already? and i own the PC version... make it $40 and then we'll talk..
1 Like Im excited. Really wanted to try this game out but I don't have a gaming PC.
Hopefully Blizzard does more console support for future games
1 Like If i want to play Diablo, i'll play Diablo 1 and 2. If i want to play Diablo 3, i'll play Torchlight 2
I already have it on PC but is it worth it to buy the games again only for trophies collection?
I have huge demanding trophies obsesion wich I can't get on my PC
@Imperiacommando Lol, that's why I love games on PC: it's about playing the game, NOT collecting trophies. Well, to each his own.
That's what games are about period only some ppl are addicted to Trophies and/or Achievements.
These bastards should rot in hell for doing this shit to their loyal PC fans!!!F YOU BLIZZARD!!!
