A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Having sunk tons of time into D3, I can say it's worth a look. The paragon leveling system from D3/D4 is a clever way of rewarding players who keep playing well after the main 3 (or 4 with D3 DLC) acts. I think I was at Paragon level 1100 or so when I stopped playing.
The biggest complaint people had about D3 IIRC was it's too colorful (something they poked fun at with the Whimsydale/rainbow goblin).
D2 was a favorite in college, but admittedly I never played outside of some lab parties.
D4 is shaping up to be a solid game, but this is patient gamers, so I don't know if that counts.
Oh no, how dare a game known for its dark visuals make use of the whole spectrum lol. If that's the highest critique then it's gotta be the best dungeon crawler of all time
:D I know right? I didn't pick up D3 at launch because of their store/always on DRM (which were two more legitimate concerns), but when I finally joined in after the first expansion I could not for the life of me understand the, "it's too colorful" complaint.
Plus Whimsydale is bonkers awesome - slaying demon rainbow unicorns and teddy bears is a blast.
