Brand loyalty. If i was busy with life after 2002 after enjoying d2 I’d also give money for Diablo 3 and 4. But being in the know… No thanks. D4 is made to acquire money from the players. Last Epoch is made to allow players to play the game.
I refunded D3 after finding out how they gate the auction house and drop weapon level during launch window. Never even tried to get the updated version or D4 at all. Blizzard is dead for me at D3.
Sadly the new diablo probably sold better (made more money) than poe and le combined.

PoE is made for hardcore folks who want pain. Diablo is simplified. Two different audiences. I can’t stand PoE.
