Right, I was trying to be simplistic, and address more so the 'continuous' support of it, since I don't think they are offering much support for the D/DII games (I tried to mess with DII, and couldn't get much help from them on why it wouldn't install properly)
To your other point, blizz fanbase who has / hasn't played Diablo I/II. World of Warcraft was my first blizzard product, and will probably be my last blizzard product. Not because there is something "wrong' with them, or the like, but I tried Starcraft, not my bag. Diablo's setting is "eh" for me. The Warcraft games, were.... not my thing either.
My son, has never played anything but WoW. I at least tried the other games, but only after I played WoW, and wondered about the others.
I mean hell, Diablo was released before my oldest was born.
