After seeing that twitch chat I am so disappointed with the Diablo community. It’s fine to express your opinion on the patch but I saw death threats, people who have got 100’s of hours of playtime spamming for refunds, insults toward the way developers physically looked, and basically no one attempting to be civil or approach this situation with a level head. I’m a longtime Diablo player but only recently started watching their streams and following various related socials and it’s so sad that this community seems to be as toxic as wow or destiny. Blizzard needs to be better but apparently so do many of its players.

I’ll never be able to understand just how addicted some of the people posting vitriol about this game actually are to video games.

Reading through reddit today, I couldn’t help but feel overwhelming pity and then sadness.

I really feel bad for those types of people. Games are supposed to be fun, but these complaints read with so much hate that I can’t help but think they are hopelessly addicted to video games and it’s affecting their actual happiness.

I personally disagree. I haven't posted about it anywhere but the changes were enough to stop me from bothering with season 1, which I was previously looking forward to. I was looking forward to fun not more of a grind. I'm glad for folks who are still having fun though.
