Basically David brevik said that there was no story and the cut scene on the end was added by blizzard south. They had no intent to add that.
I stand corrected though. Metzen is credited as a writer on Diablo. But not Diablo 2.
I suspect Metzen wrote the ending that was tacked on according to Brevik, since at that time blizzard north was a completely different team at the time.
There was no story for Diablo 1. At exile con the creators of Diablo talk about how there was no story and the execs at Blizzard tacked one on. Chris Metzen had nothing to do with it.
Blizzard is dead. At the time they were Activision. Now they are Microsoft. The blizzard that existed to make StarCraft, warcraft and diablo only exists in name.
Lemmy is small enough and growing that if you want a community and it doesn’t exist, you should start it. Since it will be small the amount of moderation would be reasonable even for a part time user. As the community grows and if you no longer want to mod it, you can hand it off, but, start it none the less.
I do think it’s a reasonable entry point for those who do not understand the labor implications of this. Approaching people with the sentiment that their favorite games are dying makes the segue into how problematic embracer actually is much easier.
We can ultimately be upset about both things, that embracer is killing games while also killing jobs.
