BIG DIABLO 3 ANNOUNCEMENT (Update)

Blizzard is acquiring the diablo3.com domain. That's the announcement.

http://www.diablo3.com/ See for yourself.

Big farking deal, IMO. It's barely proof of anything.

There are a few things to note, however:

1. Blizzard has known about Diablo3.com for a long time, but hasn't done anything until now.

2. Similar things happened with worldofwarcraft.com and starcraft2.com.

It might be somewhat big news, but don't take it as an announcement of Diablo 3. I would say, be on the look out for an announcement at WWI. If it doesn't happen at WWI, I'd be willing to say that it probably won't ever happen.

*Gets excited*

When's WWI?

How long before the release of those games did it acquire the domains? It could be another year or more before they announce it.

One more day....

WWI is a month from now towards the end of June. They'll probably announce it then. Otherwise, I don't know why they're acquiring all these diablo 3 domains if they're not working on it.

Oh my god. That domain must have been an easy 500k$. I'm buying WoW2.com atm.

Bah.

What a letdown

It's not a bad announcement, but I think it was definitely overhyped.

WWI is just a couple days shy of 2 months from now. It's June 28th and 29th, I believe. Be on the lookout for an announcement then.

Also, if you guys didn't know, Blizzard has been acquiring a lot more than just diablo3.com. They've been getting a lot of other diablo3.*** websites.
