After witnessing one of the most successful RPG releases in recent history, Diablo 4 seems to have lost all its viewership online. Being Blizzard’s highest-sold game ever, many expected the fourth installment in the Diablo 4 franchise to prosper, but instead, Diablo 3 has surpassed it suddenly.
On June 6, Diablo 4 was released worldwide as the game sold more than 10 million copies within 3 days of launch. This made it Blizzard’s highest-selling game of all time. However, it seems like the game continues to lose traction, losing more than 90% of its viewership since its June launch.
Rather Diablo 3 has surpassed its successor, even though it was released 11 years ago. With its new Season 29, Diablo 3 now sits at a weekly average of 3,000 viewers on Twitch with a peak of 5,600 viewers on September 17. For context, Diablo 4 has a weekly average of 940 viewers at the time of writing.
Diablo 4 saw a peak viewership of 940,000 at the time of its release, ten times more than Diablo 3 ever achieved. However, it has lost almost 99% of its peak viewership and sits at a weekly average of 940 on Twitch.
Knowing Blizzard, the fix will be to end D3 support.
Yep. They’re gonna Overwatch that shit. And everything else from now on.
Look at what they just did for the new D2R ladder season. There were literally no patches at all. They just reset the ladder. It’s not like there are any glaring problems cough cough mosiac cough cough that need to be fixed or anything.
This game is the worst money I ever spent. It is what truly made me learn the hard way about buying on launch day
I made the same mistake having false confidence in Diablo yet again I haven’t played it since the first week

They better be referring to the release of BG3, because if they’re talking about D4…
Successful in terms of cash, which I’d imagine is the most common metric people look for. Now whether gamers will look back on bg3 or d4 more fondly? You decide!!
They kept nerfing the fun out of it
How could d4 have possibly sold more copies than wow?
Path of Exile clones
Path of Exile aka “The real sequel to D2”
Titan Quest was pretty good, and I think it used all of the same sound effects.
Grim Dawn! Successor to TQ and measurably better than any other arpg on the market (in my opinion).
I enjoyed Grim Dawn up until the last boss. I haven’t played any of the DLC though, it’s worth going back to it.
A new Expansion is in the works too! Crate Entertainment really cares about their game and it shows, not many games out there with that kind of long-term support
They all want to be that which they cannot become… ans we can’t become that either cause we don’t have a PhD in PoE.
