Uh, no.
All D2 mods sucked, and D2 is better without any of them.
I've played D2 for years and years vanilla, as have the thousands of people online.
nope Blizzard is flat saying NO MODS of any sort will be allowed.. basically they just killed thier own game..
Mods are the ONLY thing that has kept D2 going this long.. without the mods expect D3s life expectancy at less than 2 years.

TBH i played on the D2 HC ladder for 4 years between 2003 and 2008 and this is the first if heard about mods.
WTF did they do?
As a Steam user, the connection requirement is meaningless to me.
I am saddened not by the fact that you won't buy the game, but moreso that you mainly play it SP.

You say that like having steam prohibits you from getting games from any other retailer. If you don't want to go to the store, Blizzard has their own digital distribution that works just fine. It doesn't make sense for everyone to use steam; especially when you're Blizzard. They have such a following that they really don't need Steam. It would be more of a hassle for them to use it, and I doubt they would get enough sales off of it to make it worth their while.As a Steam user, I'm guessing I won't have access to Diablo 3 at all, since Blizzard chooses not to make their games available on Steam. Kinda sucks, I wanted to play Starcraft II and Diablo 3.

I don't like physical copies of games and I don't want to get involved in more than one online game library. I don't think it'd be that difficult for Blizzard to get on board with Steam, but like you said, they sell enough games that they don't need to.
You might as well buy it from Blizzard directly and use "Add a Non-Steam Game" to add it to your Steam library.
I don't believe in that.
It isn't Santa Claus we're talking about here!
But on a serious note, Steam having a de facto monopoly would likely lead us down an ugly path. Competition is only a good thing for consumers.
Well D3 looks like a total pass now, ugh.
This doesn't really bother me, nor does the $$ auction house.
What does, and what I didn't know till recently, is there are only four people in a game max at a time ?!?! What on earth is that all about, half of what you could have in D2.
Fail.
Second fail is no hostility in games, so no PK games, just stupid 'arena pvp'. Who is in charge of developing this game ? It sure is not anyone who was around for Diablo 2.
I laughed out loud at the ludicrousness of that statement.
Well I'm not dealing with online junk for single-player game. Besides no necromancer anyways :'(
Now if there was an off-line only, no MP, version without constant connection that would rock.
Different strokes for different folks. Not everyone wants _every_ game to be a social networking fest ala Farmville (or something).Who played D2 on single player? I played Single player for maybe like 1 hour and hopped online. So much more fun to play with others online then to solo play. I can't believe this is even considered as a bad thing.
