>Diablo 4 is Blizzard's Fastest-Selling Game of All Time
>In the four days since early access started on June 1, Diablo IV has been played for 93 million hours, or over 10,000 years --- the equivalent playing 24 hours a day since the beginning of human civilization.
Ganker was wrong again

What's woke about mommy and daddy fighting, anon? Anon?
keep looking for excuses to validate your 70$ dollar spent on a 17hs gameplay game
I can't imagine only spending $70 on a game in 2023. $200 should be the new normal.
well you are not interested in games, you just want to consum
$200? What are you poor? If it doesn't have a $15k edition, I don't even click the pre-order button.
I want mine to require a PC made entirely of rhodium.
The argument isn't quality. It's whether it's a flop (which the haters want and believe is true) or not, which it certainly isn't. 2 more weeks and it'll be F2P, etc etc. It's like the 750Ti guy arguing that newer GPUs don't change the gameplay, and that's not the point in the first place.
>terrible graphics
Now you're just lying. It looks incredible at 4k with the high res textures.
>14hrs game time
>diablo game
what did he mean?
there is no endgame
I'm so glad I didn't listen to all the negativity on this site, I bought the 80 dollar edition a couple of days ago and have been having fun ever since. You guys should really try DIablo 4 out before you shit talk it..
This. I have never played a game that was more worth the asking price than Diablo IV. One of the most engaging stories I've ever played, a perfect endgame that offers infinite hours of entertainment.
It really is the pinnacle of ARPGs, absolutely perfect.
Cant agree more. I was one of the naysayers who blindly believed all the criticism on Ganker, but then I thought frick it, I'll just buy the game and think for myself, Diablo 2 was absolute kino after all.
The game is basically perfect, and will only continue to become better over the years to come with healthy doses of content updates.
It's the best investment to make when purchasing a video game right now. 70 dollars really is a great deal considering how much actual content this game has, and will continue to have.
Agreed on all points. I used to be a diehard Diablo 2 fan, thinking that it would never be topped, but Blizzard actually did the unthinkable. Once-in-a-lifetime game, I'm getting chills just writing about it
What the frick is this thread?
hey newbie, you're getting trolled
Free thinkers who dont follow the Ganker hivemind that mindlessly hates everything without even giving it a chance.
Crazy to think individuals exist on this parasitic board, I know.
>consumers are free thinkers
>mindlessly parroting opinions of a game you never played is free thinking
Mindlessly buying blizzard games on launch is free thinking
I waited until I saw people's real reviews and the state of the game and bought it after the dust had settled. And wasn't disappointed.
Shills
The game is mediocre as all frick, but blizzdrones will try to tell otherwise
Prove you own it.
You can tell the game is mediocre from just looking at it, there's no reason to buy or play it.
I mean, I'm sorry if you lack the ability to tell from a glance, surely you must be in pain from all the poor economic decisions you've made in your life.
You haven't played it, so you're just parroting what other people say. You're not only poor, you're a disingeniune liar.
God this image was made to make fun of people like you
Blizzard is unironically shilling the game everywhere. The OP is a pajeet.
Just shills.
Diablo 4 will be flavor of the month slop, buy it if you have spare money, want to chase FOMO and participate in latest trend, but everyone will play it for 20-30 hours and then the game is going to die into obscurity, even worse than Diablo 3 which was in conversation for years to come.
>"N-NOOOOOOOO WHY DON'T YOU HAVE THE PROPER Ganker SANCTIONED OPINION"
i am so sick of the genuine autism on this board
hello blizzard maketeer
Ask me how I now your skin is brown/piss yellow
i'll wait for it to go free to play by the end of the year

it's almost like you don't belong here... almost like you get paid to post this positive stuff about an unequivocally shit game...

>shilling this hard for goyslop
gotta admit they paid for their rabid morons this time unlike gollum lmao
If there's one thing Blizzard is good at, it's marketing. They can shit out a turd like D4 and trick millions of people into buying it.
Hell, they even tricked millions of people into playing a reskinned mobile game (Diablo Immortal).
This it's how they tricked me into playing overwatch. I will never buy their garbage ever again.
blizzard astroturfing is always phenomenal. i wonder if they have an in house team doing it or if they outsource.
What gets me is I see less actual shilling and tons of people (and sometimes just a few that spam constantly) ABOUT shilling.
>You like X? Shill! Gore pics, spam, etc!
>total sum
now divide by the amount of players
then list player who uninstalled it within 1-2 hours
list refunds
oh wait you can't? eat shit and die Black person
Anon if people uninstalled in 2 hours that means over 45 million people bought the game
Is this your idea of laughing at blizzard? 45 million presales?
they don't give refunds
>Claim that the game is the "Fastest selling"
>Bring up played hours rather than actual sales
How suspicious.
How much do people want to bet that this is related more to Chinese bot nets going full blast with the bots they trained off of the beta, trying to farm up countless bot accounts so they can make the most money gold/item selling while prices are at their highest?
They're counting hours played during the beta, duh.
>But it says in the 4 days since June 1st
They made the wording ambiguous as frick on purpose. They didn't say that 93 million hours were racked up in those 4 days specifically. They are saying the total number of played hours equals 93 million hours by that point.
That wording is not ambiguous at all, you're just coping hard
>total sum
People rightly memed on Riot for doing this, and people will rightly meme on Blizz for trying this.

So much deja vu posts in the d4 threads, bliz interns at full force today.
>Diablo 4 is Blizzard's Fastest-Selling Game of All Time
And?
Diablo Immortal made them the most amount of money over time.
Does that suddenly make Immortal a good game instead of a micro-transaction lootbox hell-hole?
Millions in India eat cow shit. Ganker was wrong again
I refunded this piece of shit in the first 20 minutes. Genuinely fricking awful game. Terrible graphics, awful music, awful animations. Worst of all? One look at the shitty skill tree just ended any interest I could possibly have in the game.
Wow, thank you for the recommendation, Anonymous! I just purchased the Digital Deluxe Collector's Founder's Edition (and threw in a little tip for the hard-working Blizzard devs ;)) and I've been having tons of fun! I heartily second the recommendation: Diablo IV is truly a great game that will continue to entertain and delight for years to come; GOTYAY for sure!
Every game coming out today should out sell old games. The gaming market is rapidly growing.
Outselling your old games is the bare minimum. If you’re not doing that you’re actually in the negative.
Honestly fastest selling doesn’t mean anything, I call them saying shadowland was their fastest selling expansion ever but it legitimately didn’t mean anything
>Fastest-Selling
This means nothing without numbers and a time frame.
It sounds like a cope buzzword for a flop.
>Blizzdrons are mindless drones
And the sky is blue. Also, Overwatch 2 also broke sale records for Blizzard games
YFW a game heavily shilled in 2023 sells well a.k.a normies buying it and playing it once.
People are really desperate for a new game I guess.
bliz keeps making big bucks
cuck Ganker keeps seethin
>93M hours in 5 days
>93M / 5 days= 18.6M hours per day
>18.6M/24h = 765k average players per day
LESS THAN LOST ARK
BLIZZARD COULDN'T EVEN BEAT LOST ARK!!!!
>post literally says 4 days
>Anon counts 5
So this is the brainpower of Ganker...
it is sill less than 1mil per day assuming each player for one hour and at most under 4mil unique players who each played for an hour
That isnt the case though as most people probably played around 4 to 8 hours otherwise blizzard would say they had over 1mil players or 4 players in 4 days as that sounds impressive. When companies try and obfuscate player count like this that usually means it performed worse than expected and as most people are too lazy they will just see a large number and applaud it
tortanicgays lost again
nintendies lost again
chuds lost again
>using a bunch of meaningless pr stats like hours played instead of something real like copies sold
Yeah I'm thinking it has either underperformed or it must be noticeably smaller than Zelda despite being on more platforms
Jesus christ you're moronic
Nah u are
can you guys keep the obvious shilling to one thread please?
Still not going to buy it, why would i care about people giving blizzard money?
>still not going to think for myself
Good little hivemind drone!
I'm not spending a dime for blizzard in general, what the frick are you on about?
Last time I gave them my money was when OW1 released and I ended up getting more enjoyment watching SFM porn
Cope
Seethe
Mald
Etc, etc.
I'm not buying your fricking game, Bobby. You should be in prison anyway.
And yet they can't sell in China at all. And somehow it's a top selling game for them. Curious.
Sorry I did not purchase the latest bing bing wahoo Numbers Go UP! Simulator
modern gamers, overall, are fricking moronic
>Hours
>Not copies sold
why dodge the question?
Underperformed
Simple as. 99% of people lack the thought to question things like this and just assume big number next to small number means good
Fastest Refunded Game
>Ganker was wrong again
How exactly? We've always known that Diablo will sell despite its shitty quality, just look at Diablo 3.
Ask me how I KNOW your skin is brown/piss yellow/coal black
>Announce Shadowlands Sales
>Announce Overwatch 2 launch numbers
>Do NOT Announce Dragonslops Sales
>Announce Diablo 4 Sales
Boy that WoW expansion was a disaster huh?
Blizzard has not released sales figures for Diablo IV. Claiming that the game is the fastest selling while releasing hours played instead of copies sold is meaningless corporate spin.
We already know the number is over 3.7m because that's their last sales record
By hours alone the player count is minimally at almost a mil if people were playing 24/7 for 4 days straight, which is obviously not possible
It's already established itself as king of arpgs
>Announce Diablo 4 Sales
They didn't. They announced "hours played" instead
>Fastest selling
>Not highest selling
>Random cherry picked playtime number
Diablo 3 coming out was a cultural firework compared to the wet fart of a release.
>93 million hours in 6 days
That's like 650k sales if everyone played for an hour. Suddenly this doesn't sound as amazing.
this is the kind of Pooturd intelligence that is normal
LMAO
don’t ever let a niGGGer pretend that they are smart
I will buy it when it's on sale
>sales = good game!!!
how are you able to drink water without choking?
>normalgays bought a shit game and the company gloats
nothing new.
please please please please please please please please please please please don't leave poe
hows molyneux doing nowadays anyway. he still begging every video? Does he even make videos anymore?
Who gives a shit? No one actually cares about game sales besides the people who released the game and their shareholders.
Holy shit diablo Black folk got BTFO
meanwhile I just reinstalled D2 again
what spec should I run bros?
Hammerdin or buffsdin.
If blizzard games are so succesful
Why are they hiding purposely the real time player counts on their games ?
Makes you wonder
Best thread on the board right now
Gayming is ded
Ask me how I KNOW your skin is shit brown/piss yellow/coal black
Have you ever listened to or read Blizzard's stockholder meetings, they manipulate words to make it look like they know what they're doing and are successful, if they put this out, how can anyone see it as anything more than damage control, their official forums are a mess, the shilling like this thread here is an absolute travesty, Kripp is tearing the game apart daily on his stream lol, things are bad, this isn't a victory, don't let these shitskins try to fool you, again
>very fast slop selling at incredible hihg speed
I honestly don't believe the reported sales numbers, most of what you see online is just a blatant lie, nearly every gaming youtube these days is a literal corporate shill, every game review channel like IGN are corporate shills, the modern world is built on illusion.
reaction image users are the biggest newhomosexuals. they never realize they are posting in a b8 topic and try to have actual discussion
>richest story ever told in a Diablo game
>Diablo 2 told twice
Wonderful.
Game is so shit it killed Asmongold's channel
>game of thrones has been watched for over 200hundredy billion minutes!
pretty sure Ganker didn't claim goyim would stop buying goyslop, child. those are your delusions again
Actual warning, nuclear meltdown in progress.
AHHHHH DISCORD BROOOOOOS YOU PROMISED ME A FLOP YOUUUUUU PROMISEDDDD
the game that utterly BROKE Ganker. Baldurs Gate 3 is next. I love when homosexuals who live on discord and twitter lose.
MELTY STATUS? NUCLEAAAAR
Kek I can't believe you autists are so mad and pathetic that you've been reduced to doing this shit because people don't listen to your moronic arguments.
That are, indeed, no even arguments.

not even Shazamtards were this BOOTY BLASTED HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
Reply to me if you're gay. D4 is a good game.
This is what happens when you listen to Ganker. You get mindbroken when things don't go your way
>This is what happens when you listen to Ganker. You get mindbroken when things don't go your way
not wrong lmao Ganker is just a mirror for what they hate
All it took was three simple words lmfao
This board is only going to become more rabidly insane as the year progresses, is it?
Yeah pretty much.
oh noes gore!
fricking moron lmao
hey nice dam you blew up, vatnik moron. You uh, you planning on losing Crimea pretty soon? KEK
Game is good, hoes mad, the spammers mental state is in shambles
They literally say the conditions for "fastest selling" game in their article. It says that it was the most games sold during the early access period of the game for blizzard. Blizzard rarely (ever?) had early access in the past so the "fastest selling" in this case is literally worthless.
>"fastest in early access"
>"hours played" instead of copies sold
It certainly looks like they are doing everything they can except releasing actual objective figures.
I still imagine the thing sold well enough because of just how much they spent on marketing and the absolute barren wasteland that is AAA gaming currently, but now I'm starting to have doubts
And Diablo Immortal does 2million dollars a day, your point?
we should nuke south east asia
It used to do that much at launch. It only did $7 in the month of May, being vastly outdone by the likes of Honkai Star Rail, Genshin, and Nikke.
>Diablo 4 is Blizzard's Fastest-Selling Game of All Time
But what are the actual numbers?
>Blizzard's Fastest-Selling Game of All Time*
*during early access
that's life. people don't give a frick about jack shit. they have zero values and believe in fricking nothing. sheep and npc's. the only fricking reason why woke shit like saint's row fails is because it's shittily made. it has nothing to do with ideology or beliefs. because the normies don't give a shit about politics in their games, they just want well-made games. in fact, the npc's will even flip-floo back and forth like a cheap prostitute whenever it suits them. too much woke shit has happened lately? time to go the conservative route a bit. tired of conservatism? walk the woke path for a bit, then. that's how people are like. pizza? burgers? sushi? whatevs, it's all good. that's how the sheep treat life, like everything is just a giant buffét for them to consume at their own leasure. and that's why woke shit fails, because they fail to understand that they can't make the ideology a 100 percent of the game's or movie's identity. they still have to actually make something that's actually good and entertaining. because although the regular consooomer out there might not really care about politics, they DO want stuff that's actually well made. lesson over.
>streamer looks happier when he beats a mouse cursor flash game, than the 100 hours of diablo4 streams.
so why is diablo popular?
It doesnt seem like something normalgays would enjoy
Why the mass appeal
>brainless gameplay
>easy time sink
>makes you feel strong
its basically the CoD of loot games
Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands were also their best selling game of all time. And they didn't even have to qualify those statements with 'during early access' or use 'hours played' instead of copies sold. And those two games were massive failures.
I have full confidence in them fricking this up regardless.
what does fastest-selling means? 20k in 1 hour versus 15k for diablo3, for example, but only sold 2.5million vs diablo3's 3.5million then it's wack. Blizzard really likes to word things in a specific way that can make what they said "technically true" even if proven false. Highest selling diablo with the number should be the norm.
Bump 😉
Black person
I don't see the use to buy a game that really is only played co-op with my bro. Only reason I played the 3rd.
>hours
>years
>measurements of success
>fastest selling retail uk release in a convenient store also selling tam oshanters
Making up bullshit in the vidya marketing department sure sounds fun
Will we get a new Diablo hero in HotS at least? Or maybe some skins for the ones who already represent D4 classes?
Fastest selling = Corpo cope
> Ganker is so bad, Ganker is so wrong about everything, i am still going to post in Ganker every day
thread
>believing blizzard posts
Did you know your ssn has expired anon? please post it in the reply along with your name date of birth and address so that i can fix it for you
That post doesn’t talk about sales though.
So where are the unit sale numbers? That's what most companies do. This is like stream hours for streaming show but don't talk about how many actually completed the show.
Wait, I'm sure someone already did the math, but:
>93 million hours across 4 days
>simplified to 25ish million hours a day
>most players play more than an hour, though because they spent 90+ fricking dollars on it
>assuming the average is five hours per day, that means 5 million early access sales
>my estimate goes up or down based on how diligent people are about playing it, but again, $90 is a big investment for people
NGL, 5-ish million users for a frickhuge hypetrain with frickloads of international simping is low for four days, but then again, people willing to pay $90 for early access to a game are pretty few and far between, so i.d.k.
>assuming the average is 5 hours a day
Ok moron. Average is more like 10-12 since it’s the preorder crowd.
its over
>rings of power is the most watched show ever in the history of shows

Ganker is almost always wrong
98% of the Black folk here play absolute trash
diablo 4 is the best arpg of all time. no debate
Black folk hating on this game are delusional
best arpg hands down
pooe gays that watch excel spreadsheets more than the game itself utterly and completely btfo
You guys STILL dont believe theres no shill campaigns for new releases
are the blizzard agents in your walls bro? Get on meds.
You could pay some african a dollar per thread made and each thread could potentionally generate Blizzard a net $69 dollars
Not to mention the moronic Anons that start copycatting the threads because "haha Ganker is salty im gonna spam threads about X game even if i dont play it"
This place is literallly shill central every fricking week theres some new big release
Most ACTUAL Ganker users dont fricking play console slop anyway, theyre all coomers and probably play NTR H games daily
>Implying blizztards don't do it for free
You realize the only people who say there are no shills here, are the shills, right? It's in their scripts to deny and attack that.
They should have came up with a better strategy when the streamers started exposing the gig.
You realize the only people who say there are no aliens here, are the aliens, right? It's in their programming
to deny and attack that.
The Gankeriral marketing board is organic, bro.
thats not how deleted posts look
>bro some fake post from over 10 years ago means shills are on Ganker
>he doesn't know about the oldgay EA/Ouya employee mod that was friends with luggage lad since early 00's
You could at least post actual proof like people getting auto-banned for posting Doom 2016 leaks
I'm not buying your shit until you add a party finder function of some kind.
Why would you need that?
So, is it good?
How fun is summonmancer?
>fastest presales game
there's an important distinction because games didn't use to have this scummy three day lead start shit.
Doesn't Blizzard say this about every single fricking new game they release?
India is literally the worst country on earth. There is no greater misfortune on a human soul than to be born an indian male.
And that's just the cutscenes!

>the game is going to receive constant updates and refreshes in a similar style to an MMO. In 2004 they would be charging you $15 (now $30) a month for this. No one b***hed then
>It has objectively good gameplay and all of the complaints about "itemization" in end game are fixable, the core of the game is very solid and technically sound
>highest production value ARPG ever easily
>it will be played by millions
>cope seethe and dilate
If $70 is the standard price then why does it have a battle pass, a microtransaction shop, and planned DLC expansion packs that are all more expensive than path of exile's?
Because its going to receive monthly updates with much higher production value and you don't have to pay a cent for any of the core game additions and seasons if you just want to play the game's content and not do dress-up (and there's still good looking base game items which you can apply colors to freely)
So the obvious DLC Paladin class is going to be free?
>(now 30)
>WoW still 14.99 at most expensive.
why cant you people defending this game just...
not lie constantly
I meant in terms of inflation. The fact that a WoW subscription is still in place at all surprises me. I think pretty much everyone would prefer a one time purchase with extra updates supported by optional cosmetic purchases irrelevant to gameplay.
