There's a lot that changes in your brain when you realize that the most successful ARPG of all time, by far, is not the Diablo series - it's the Borderlands series. Diablo is a niche game for weirdoes; Borderlands is one of the best-selling video game series of all time.


Diablo series:

"As of April 8, 2020, the series has sold nearly 100 million copies worldwide."

(That's without Diablo 4, mind you)

Borderlands series:

"As of November 2022, more than 77 million copies of Borderlands games had been shipped"

It's truly fascinating. Virtually everything you say is complete bs. Is your favorite news channel named after an animal, by any chance?

All right. I got that figure wrong. My mistake. I'd caught it somewhere else online and didn't fact-check as thoroughly as I should have. Mea culpa.

I do find it interesting that the two are not terribly far apart in sales despite Diablo having more than a decade's head start. And I do believe there's a lot to learn from games not named "Diablo" about how ARPGs work.

And I still believe giving SSF Bros what they claim to want and turning SSF into the only way to play the game would be a disaster for the future of Path of Exile. But do you, I suppose.

GGG put SSF in the game as a HIGHER difficulty mode, not an easier one. That is why.

People simply refuse to understand this.

If you want a game where you can leap character progression in a day of grinding... >>> They're over that way >>>
