And I didn't even need any more reasons to not get this game!
Diablo was dead after Diablo 2. Resurrected was pretty good but I really dislike the always online BS. And at the end of the day, it's still the same old game with a facelift. Recently started playing Diablo 3 again and I realize why I never really got into it. It's more like gauntlet than Diablo.
It's not always online, the single player can be played offline, just start the binary directly I think.
What it lacks compared to the original is a way for private realms (not that these were ever officially supported in the original game). Still got the game on offer for $20 and think it's been a great remaster, I had a blast. If you still l want to play D2 in 2023 is a different question though. It was great in its day but a lot of the concepts show their age.
Oh I have it on PC and Switch. I know I could easily force offline on the switch but I didn't think I found a way on PC. Good to know.
I'm just gonna say it... Diablo 3 was not a great game. I probably played 6k hrs of diablo 2 and maybe 50 of diablo 3 before I realized I hated it and was only playing it because I liked the first two games.
