Diablo 3's Jay Wilson to Diablo 2 Creator "F***k that loser"


Recommended Posts

I think some people blew it way out of proportion. When I first read what he said, I thought "Okay. He took it personally and retaliated with something not-so-nice." Notice the word "personally"? It's a matter between Jay Wilson and David Brevik. Anyway, it's very likely that he apologized personally to David Brevik before posting that public apology. Yes, he should have been more professional about his anger toward David Brevik. But in the end, we're all driven by our emotions. Sometimes, you lose control over them.

As for the sincerity of his apology, I didn't doubt it for a second.

Nice of him to apologize, but that doesn't change the fact that D3 is a total POS.

Diablo 3 is not a total POS. It's a nice game but sadly nothing more (i can't find a reason to play thru it multiple times). Honestly i was not a big fan of Diablo 2. I liked it and played it for a long time but imo the first game is still the best in the serie. I really loved the first game. It was the first disc based game i played and the cinematics, sound, voice over, etc made the game really stand out. I'm not a big fan of outdoor areas to be honest i prefer to go deeper and deeper in a dungeon.

We can't blame devs for Activision-Blizzard greed. It's out of their control sadly.

But i would not be surprised if i actually prefer Torchlight 2. I really liked the first one and if they can improve upon it and add multiplayer it's gonna be a great sequel to Diablo 2 because utimately this is what Torchlight really is.

    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
