I’m still playing Diablo II, so not buying from EA is no sacrifice.
I kinda soured to Blizzard when they released Diablo 3. They completely ruined the franchise in my opinion. I lost interest in WoW a long time ago in lieu of a very profitable career in EVE. Starcraft is impossible to enjoy unless you’re an adolescent Korean boy or one of the massive throngs of people who commit every waking hour to playing it.
I’ll take Steam anyday. Plenty of indy games, cheap entertainment, and I can play Civilization V until my eyes are bleeding.
I can go back even further than that. I still play Grand Prix Legends, and that dates back to 1998!
