At least with steam you can play games in offline mode, i think you just cant access some of the dlc.

with this you wont be able to play at all if battle.net goes down, i believe.

Even with ea you just lose access to your dlc.

(which still sucks but yes its pretty much the trend now with big companies)

Then again if people didnt steal, we wouldnt have this problem would we.

Yeah, while I'm not a fan of Steam, at least you can play without being connected. With always connected DRM if you lose your connection for even a few seconds you get kicked out of the game, even in single player. That's a deal breaker for me.

well a friend of mine played the beta version and recommends the game, so I ordered the collectors edition (as planned :p)
I've been a fan of these kind of games and hope the 3rd Diablo game will as good as the other two
Important things I think that as a hack 'n slash game like this should have is mostly a good atmosphere (good for creative inspiration), and the gameplay to be as good as DI and DII.
I do fear though that things like the new potion system takes some control away. I'd like to use the items in my inventory whenever I like.
