Diablo 4 has had a tumultuous journey, to say the least. Player opinion has ebbed and flowed from unfettered optimism to vitriolic disdain depending on when you\u2019ve tuned in. Despite a decline in players and viewership, the development team behind Diablo 4 recently made some waves with the announcement of the Season 4 PTR. Alongside fixes to the game\u2019s oft-maligned itemization, Activision Blizzard has just launched Diablo 4 on Xbox and PC Game Pass in a bid to capture more players. The strategy appears to be paying off as new Diablo 4 devotees take to the game\u2019s Subreddit to sing its praises. The one throughline being that a lot of the chatter around the game feels overblown. Reddit user u\/TheFlexOffenderr was shocked at their experience after hearing \u201cterrible things about Diablo 4\u201d. \u201cI\u2019ve been addicted to the point where if I\u2019m not playing \u2013 I\u2019m thinking about it,\u201d they shared. Another new player fresh off the Game Pass express asked the community \u201cWhy do people hate this game?\u201d. They explained that they were thoroughly deterred after the early discourse surrounding Diablo 4 and were shocked to have enjoyed it. \u201cI thought this style of gameplay would be boring, but not at all!\u201d they said. \u201cI fell in love in the first hour.\u201d These are just a few mini reviews pouring in for Diablo 4 now that the game has launched for free via Game Pass on PC and Xbox. It\u2019s a massive change of pace in the discourse surrounding the title. Some of the Diablo 4 community is suggesting that this wave of positivity is the result of \u201crose-tinted glasses\u201d. A lot of the backlash surrounding the game has been related to its longevity but with the massive shake-up alluded to in Season 4, these newer players may not experience the same issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
