It would be interesting to see that fleshed out more heavily in Diablo 4 . Competitive matches between teams, tighter 2 vs 2 matches, tag teams, even some creative game modes.

Overwatch is perhaps the least demanding of a consumer’s cash as it only has a single purchase point to access the game, but then has the benefit of loot boxes for the many cosmetic skins created for events scattered throughout the year.

However, this didn't work for everyone, and plenty of fans would prefer Diablo to maintain its dark, gothic roots and gloomy palette.

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.
