Lol this is like babby's first foray into the concept of subjectivity in art.

If you figure out how to min\max your exploitation of modern tech and the brain's reward system so that a bunch of whales play your crappy game, it's still a crappy game.

There's a reason p99 exists. There's a reason so many people still play diablo 2, nobody cares about diablo 3, and diablo 4 is another battlepass microtransaction hellworld that everyone will also soon forget. I have my doubts that in 2050 there's gonna be "Project 2023" where you get to relive the magic of vanilla diablo 4!

See, many people have an aversion to the modern model because it's a shit model and everyone hates it but whales, is the thing.

Younger generations don’t know what the “old way” is like. They like what they grew up with. For us it was EQ

But to say “many people” is a vague overstatement. In the grand scheme of MMO players, p99 has a whole few thousand. With at most maybe 1500 concurrent. Across all classic MMOs? It’s the same demographic. 40 year old men and their families/children who played with them back when
