@Kastigador ...yes they may have announced it but not everyone associates Diablo with Co-Op ... I am more of a Single Player mind as are most of my gaming friends and for me Diablo 1 and 2 were played offline. Additionally as a rule I will fervously go against the notion that internet has to be present at all times and programs like steam etc if they ever go the way of the dodo so will the games that run on their servers. If I buy something its for me to use whenever and wherever I like - no conditions, to the contrary no purchase.

Well I am more a Baldurs Gate fan than Diablo ... in otherwords depth, story and characters instead of graphics and mindless killing and leveling however I would have still purchased this until they made the mistake of requiring online mode....bad call -1 customer.
