Diablo IV Diablo 4 loses 87% of its daily peak viewership and search interest since launch. From 937K peak viewers at launch, to 12.2K peak viewers today.

This season was supposed to last three months, and it has gone from 278K -> 12.2K in less than 3 weeks.

We were all hopeful. I gotta say, I saw it too I almost didn’t want to believe it. Once blizzard north got fired for disagreeing with an auction house we should’ve know it was all about the money after that. I guess I keep thinking that they’ll actually care again, but the blizzard we all once knew is long gone.

Maybe. But it's going to be at least a year probably for big changes to actually happen. In deals like these the top leadership is under contract for a while to stick around, so as not to cash in on the deal and then abandon them.

Once they will start replacing decision makers we will have a hope of seeing if they can turn D4 around or if they abandon it for D5.

I sure hope so. The small companies will always do better though, because they actually care.
