D'awww.. Cute Wolf!
They never stated but, I wonder if it's early access period and open beta combined, or just open beta. Seeing their previous numbers from just early access, I'm inclined to believe the second.
Too bad Diablo 4 is an utter snooze fest and the worst in the series. So glad they have all their little micro transactions at the ready! /s!
I never understood the point of these random statistics. Why not just say how many people played? What are they afraid of, that if the engagement metrics are low stock prices would take a hit? The game isn’t even out yet! It seems like they just cherry picked whatever would yield the highest numbers to show the 70+ year old investors who don’t understand anything about gaming at the latest shareholder meeting.
Would be interesting to know if those hours include time sitting in queue. Also of note: comparing it to previous Diablo betas starts to look funny if you think about it. Diablo was released '97 and D2 was released in 2000, the state of the internet has changed greatly in those 20 years. Diablo 3 had a week long beta open, but the amount probably got pushed down due to those of us that got it for free via WoW. So, are they saying that it beat the D2: Resurrected and Diablo Immortal which are the only games in the series released in the last 10 years. And 1 is a revamp and 1 was mostly mobile only until right before the game was released.
who would think that the most played classes were those having it easiest?:D
