More surprising is they gave it a content patch with a new class. I’ll probably be guilty of buying it on the first sale if i’m being honest. D2 is too much fun and a new class sounds like too much fun².

I’m with you, but I’m not paying full pop for a 25 year old game. The nostalgia factor gives us rose coloured glasses. Things took a pretty sharp downturn by Patch 1.10 - things got weird - you could, for instance, get a rune word that would turn you into a werewolf, even if you weren’t a druid, and that kind of broke the game in my opinion. a lot of those weird rune words just turned players into weird walking data sheets.
