And it seems like no one is playing Diablo IV or even talking about itā€¦ Iā€™m kind of shocked. GP doing some heavy lifting !

Black Ops 6 will be huge for GP, I bet.

That only feels that way because people like to use the steam numbers, which for ABK games doesnā€™t really indicate anything.

Not a shocker, established IP is always going to hit harder than new in a situation like that. Curious what The ESVI does.

Yeah, the thought of a new CoD or Diablo game launching day one on GP is going to hit different imo.

Online bubble effect is real. Itā€™s so easy to assume that if a game isnā€™t generating daily threads on NeoGAF or ResetEra, itā€™s not popular.

Iā€™ve been enjoying my time so far, running necro this season. They improved a lot of stuff in season 4, leveling is much more fun with the addition of helltides, and the pets have a great addition, they collect everything on screen at the speed of flash, no more zig zaging to collect every last drop.

Itā€™s quite surprising to see the discrepancy in the data we see (Steam, Mostplayed); its even more of a partial picture than I thought.

I remember past threads we (well people) talking about how it released on GP with a ā€˜whimperā€™

Yeah Ive jumped to a Necro from a Rogue, Rogue was just impossible in the Pit. I thought the pet was a daft addition, until I used it, man its a godsend picking up all the drops.
