    I have a theory that part of why it took so long was because they didn't want to release it while players were so actively hostile at the time; better to give players the time to simmer down and meanwhile give them other treats.

      Considering they released the D2 remake between then and now to keep the hardcore community happy, I think you're right.

          I'm imagining a hilarious scene with board members pouting and grumbling about 'stupid entitled players, not liking and playing the game like we tell them to like and play it; not thinking it's cool and making fun of us'
