One thing I dislike about many Diablo fans regarding Diablo 4

State of the Game · Discussions

So one thing that I do not like very much about many fans and people in regards to Diablo 4 is their criticism regarding the lack of Diablo in Diablo 4 (so far).

I know that the game series is called Diablo, named after one of the three Prime Evils. Yet, the Diablo universe is way bigger than just Diablo. There are two other Prime Evils. And there are other potential threads, other creatures and forces that could be a good main villain of a Diablo game. It doesn't always have to be Diablo. I think Lilith herself was a pretty great villain especially since she was a morally grey character who - while definitely doing some nasty stuff - had a good side to her as well.

Imperius might be another candidate for main villain - either in a future expansion or in a possible Diablo 5.

Yet I see many people being absolutely furious that Diablo 4 didn't feature Diablo yet. It's something that gets repeated again and again (and might continue until Blizzard finally decides to have an expansion with Diablo).

Sometimes facing another thread in the wider ingame universe can be a good thing.
