"So, ILE shut down. This is tangentially related to that, not why they shut down, but part of why it was such a difficult freaking slog trying not to. It's a rough, rough world out there for independent studios who want to make big games, even worse if you're single-team and don't have a successful franchise to ride or a wealthy benefactor. Trying to make it on PC product is even tougher, and here's why."
"Titan Quest did okay. We didn't lose money on it. But if even a tiny fraction of the people who pirated the game had actually spent some god-damn money for their 40+ hours of entertainment, things could have been very different today. You can bitch all you want about how piracy is your god-given right, and none of it matters anyway because you can't change how people behave... whatever. Some really good people made a seriously good game, and they might still be in business if piracy weren't so rampant on the PC. That's a fact."

What are the best games like Diablo? With Diablo 4 still a way off, we share some of the best alternatives currently available.
Lists Victor Vran but not even Grim Dawn. No wonder this did not get even one approval here in 13 hours.
Grim Dawn is amazing. A gorgeous game to boot.
This list is a joke.
Ah yes, Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 always come to mind when I think of Diablo.
Like, just because it has loot, that doesn't mean it's like Diablo. And it's not exactly like Diablo created the mechanic of "loot" to begin with.
What I was hoping to get out of this was maybe a hidden gem I wasn't aware of. What I actually got was a small chuckle about how much of a bad take this article was.
It’s insane often I get disconnected on Diablo resurrected, I need to give these a shot
Marvel Heroes was incredible. Really wish it could be brought back. Warhammer: Chaosbane is pretty good
It and Diablo 2 are easily my favorites.
Might like Grim Dawn most, honestly; but I haven't played the remaster yet so.
The Shadows games are pretty good. The devs are cool guys too. I reviewed the original game way back when they sent me code. They've sent me every release since, even though they know I haven't wrote for a long time.
The only one I'm reluctant to try to this day is Path of Exile. I love these types of games, and consider myself a big fan of more complicated, in-depth games, but that skill tree and the mechanics behind the game's character building is f*****g intimidating.
Grim Dawn is a solid game all the way around. I can't wait to play the D2 remaster.
Yeah, I get that, but Path is a lot of fun. I am waiting for Path 2. I've kind of played out the existing characters. Resistances are key or at least when I played it.
I'll have to check out the Shadows games. Thanks for the heads up.
