The changes from Diablo 2 to Diablo 3 perfectly encapsulate what happened to vidya in general from ~2008 onward.
Everything got dumbed down and oversimplified so that even the dumbest dumbfuck could play and beat the game. Everyone is a winner, everyone gets to see the end credits no matter how shit you are at videogames. No more wacky experimentation, just sterilized copypasting of existing formulas to guarantee the most profits.
