#4Off topic: the cookie acceptance dialog that polygon uses is broken. It shows a spinner and doesn't disappear. Why does this even need a spinner? I'm seeing similar behaviour on multiple websites now, it's infuriating.

GDPR requires you to “prove” you gained consent by creating a server-side timestamped log of the option each user chooses.
But you cannot see my comment because I was hellbanned, so enjoy wondering.

Some key people left after that project too. I’m sure some good stories will come out for that soon too.

Diablo 3 was far from a failure as it broke a number of financial records; the main problem was the game-design pitfall of basing a loot-based game around the Real Money Auction House. (which they fixed in the expansion)
In a way the Diablo 3 RMAH helped validate the modern freemium/gacha business model for mobile platforms.

I can see your comment, so maybe you aren't hellbanned any more.
