These articles always make it sound like you just lose your old character, they’re still there you just can’t do seasonal stuff and compete on leaderboards with your eternal character

Isn't that the whole point of a season? Everyone starts at zero (kind of because you keep Lilith statues and explored areas and can skip the campaign) and tries out new content.

It's odd that a writer for Kotaku hasn't played any other Diablo game seasons, or at least didn't read up on them enough to have been surprised at how they work. I guess it's a good article for people who have never played the Diablo genre and may be expecting something else, but it felt a bit out of place. It's the fourth game in the series. It would be weirder if it didn't follow the same relative game design.

Maybe if they came out with a "World of Diablo" MMO, people could expect to stick with single character through all content.
