Diablo III launch marred by server issues, #error37 trends on Twitter

Stupid people can get fooled by all that though.

The days of the playing the same game again on a higher difficulty are gone. Why play the same game again when you can play a different game instead?

Now if they added something like pvp type gameplay that would be something.

Why is there no reason to upgrade your authentication servers? Its not as if they're buying the physical computers. They can just rent extra space to run their software. And it may have exceeded expectations, but not as if they didn't have a daily quota of sales.

And I'm sure they realize how many people their servers can handle. If their servers can only handle 250,000 per hour, then they got an issue cause 8 times as many people will be trying to log on. This isn't like they're sitting around the table waiting for the box office receipts. They had all this information ready beforehand.

As always, this matter was brought before some executive, and something was laid out. It will cost X dollars in order to get everyone authenticated. And you know what he said: "**** them, we already got their money. Not as if they're going to get a refund." Everyone is acting like these poor innocent game companies, full of spunky but ill informed employees are attacked by ungrateful fans. This isn't 1997. This is 2012. I expect these companies to have all this info, and be prepared to provide what the players paid their hard earned money for - a pleasant gaming experience. I would be irritated as all hell if I spent money to buy a game only not to be able to play it for hours on end.

7 hours ? Seriously I pity those people !

People are pissed off for the same reason you would be pissed off if you bought a new car and it breaks down every 15 mins. You pay a lot for something, you expect it to work. Only in the software industry can they get away with selling faulty goods.

"Hate, but you still follow the game about... clever."
Of course I do, I like the game, what a stupid statement! If I didn't like the game I wouldn't give a rats *** what happens to it. But I like it, I paid for it and I expect it to work when I get it, like any other product I buy.

Blizzard is worse than Hitler.
