<br>The more probable idea is to split the game into episodes, similar to what was done with Starcraft II over its long development and release. Alternatively, the game could go the route of World of Warcraft , which is to say that Blizzard could release expansions more frequently, perhaps every year or so. These would provide not only a small amount of new content, but also an all-important level cap increase to gate progression for existing players unless they buy in.<br><br> <br>The Diablo series has gone through some interesting changes, both bad and good. Many fans consider Diablo 2 to be the highlight of the series with Diablo 3 introducing some interesting developments to the gamep<br><br>Cosmetic items are also an obvious place where Blizzard could be making money. It's honestly rather surprising to see that so much is given away freely in Diablo 3 , including wings, pets, pendants, and more.<br><br> <br>Rumors circulated surrounding the original Diablo game that there was a "Secret Cow Level". The outcry for this rumor gained so much traction, that Blizzard themselves couldn’t help but actually add the Secret Cow Level to the sequel of Diablo , Diablo 2 . Players needed to combine Wirt’s Leg and a Tome of Town Portal in the Horadric Cube in order to create a red portal that appears in the Act 1 area, bringing players into a hostile dimens<br><br>Blizzard’s current business model is to create games that demand an infusion of cash from their consumers for them to remain relevant in the content of the game, to for the company to justify its developmental resources. Take a brief look at the 2018 earnings below. See a pattern here? All of these games, including those of Activision, and Candy Crush, are always bringing in constant revenue.<br><br>When Diablo 3 launched, the RMAH would have meant that players would always be buying and selling items, with Blizzard taking a constant cut of the cash. With that failure out the door, we need to consider how else Diablo 4 could bring in revenue at a pace that would keep its development assured. One option is another RMAH, but that would imply Blizzard has learned nothing from the first attempt. Unlikely, but we should not count it out completely.<br><br> <br>2008 was a different time for Star Wars fans. The Prequel Trilogy had just concluded with Revenge of the Sith , and the canon of the franchise was a little all over the place with books and video games featuring the different eras of Star Wars . 2008 was a different time for Star Wars fans, and not many liked Jar Jar Binks and his cartoonish ant<br><br> <br>Silent Hill 2 isn't exactly a game that one would expect to feature silly jokes, but that’s exactly what fans can find with the Silent Hill 2 dog ending. Obtaining one of the happier endings is fairly difficult, but players can find a different path at the Lakeview Hotel when they receive the dog key and head to the observation room on the third floor, but only after watching the videotape. This will unlock the secret Dog Ending that reveals the shiba inu dog that was behind the events of the g<br><br>Following the disastrous announcement of Diablo: Immortal at BlizzCon? 2018, players were somewhat relieved to learn that Diablo 4 is finally in development. Recently here at TheGamer?, we discussed how the failure of the Real Money Auction House (RMAH) was a catalyst that shifted how Diablo 3 was developed, and subsequently abandoned long before its original vision was fulfilled. This included the cancellation of a second expansion called The King of the North, and the rumor of a cancelled Druid class.<br><br> <br>The lore of this universe is rife with interesting possibilities, the Black Abyss within the Burning Hells, the Void, unknown pocket dimensions where powerful beings either hide or are imprisoned in, other worlds where the war between heaven and hell are raging and places that have already succumbed to demons. There are countless possibilities and Diablo 4 could take players to places other than Tristram, the top layer of hell, or another des<br><br>Time will tell how much longer Blizzard can keep this up, since the gaming market is saturated with quality titles ranging from Indie developers to AAA games.
