Blizzard's Diabloic Plans

GiantBomb has posted a video - here - showing off Diablo 3's newest character - the Monk. With 12 minutes of awesome monster crushing, I really admire Blizzard's marketing strategy. Blizzard is notorious for telling about their games years in advance and releasing them around half a decade later. They even have their own conference to showcase their 3 game lines - Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo. Other developers like Valve don't have something similar.

Strangely, I feel that Diablo 3 might drop by the 4th quarter of next year - 2010. They've already revealed 4 characters, there's just one to go and by the amounts of demo levels they are showing, I think they might have a pre alpha build up by the end of this year. Though when 2010 comes, I'll find out that Diablo won't be out till 2015.

This is Blizzard's Diabloic (diabolic) plan to create minions. They feed us gamers with so much eye candy and news about their games so that we slowly get hypnotized. Once they got us hypnotized, anything they release we will just look blankly and buy it without questioning if it actually good.
