Diablo 2: Resurrected is out now. The original was one of the most important games of my childhood, but returning to Tristram feels weird right now, and not just because it's been 21 years. Activision Blizzard faces two separate lawsuits, one alleging years of discrimination and harassment and the other alleging worker intimidation and union-busting, leading to employee walkouts and the departure of several key members of senior staff. A lot has happened so far, and the lawsuits are ongoing. You can follow the latest developments here.
Diablo 2 Resurrected also faces pressure from fans burned by Warcraft III: Reforged's troubled release, and who are wary that history will repeat itself. The original Diablo 2 is still available on the Battle.Net store at the time of writing, so that's something.
I still need more time with Diablo 2, so my full thoughts on the remaster will come at a later time. There's plenty to say already, but it's important to share the above context before diving into what feel like some relatively trivial concerns and accomplishments.
