Thank you Moon Studios.
As a 51-year-old gamer, I've journeyed through gaming history since the days before the Atari Woody even hit the scene. Picture this: a time when having not one, but two Voodoo 2 graphics cards 24 Meg of graphic goodness, linked by SLI Scan-Line Interleave BY 3dfx (not the SLI you youngsters know today) was the pinnacle of gaming glory

From Castle Wolfenstein's pioneering thrills to the seismic impact of Quake 1 and 2, my shed became the hallowed grounds A router and dozens of cables for LAN parties with my Mates, blasting each other to pixelated bits in Killer Quake and strategizing through Command and Conquer marathons. Total Annihilation, KKnD (or Krush, Kill 'n' Destroy for the uninitiated) – you name it, I've battled through it.

But then came Diablo, and oh boy, that was the moment I sealed my fate as a lifelong gamer. Diablo 2? Pure gaming nirvana. And just when I thought it couldn't possibly get any better, along came World of Warcraft, where strolling out of Iron forge with my trusty Dwarf Hunter and my Bear Companion by my side felt like stepping into a digital utopia. Back then, gaming was pure. No micro transaction nonsense – just you, your game, and maybe a trusty floppy disk or CD-ROM.

Yet, I must confess, the golden age of gaming seems to have lost some of its luster in recent years. Sure, there have been glimmers of greatness, but nothing quite captures that insatiable grip on your attention like the classics did.

Enter early access games – often rough around the edges, but occasionally, they ignite that long-lost spark within us. And let me tell you, something special has rekindled my gamer spirit, and it's all thanks to Moon Studios. Their latest creation has breathed new life into this old gamer's heart. Sure, we gamers can be a demanding bunch, but this game? It's pure gold.

So, here's to you, Moon Studios – for giving this aging gamer a reason to stay up past his bedtime once again. Here's to the promise of what's to come, and to the joy of watching this game evolve. Thank you.

It's a paid demo not a game first off.
Secondly you had genders in diablo,it was a thing back then my grandparents told me.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the game. It's great to see young gamers like yourself engaging with the community and expressing your opinions.

1. Regarding your observation about the game feeling like a paid demo, it's understandable that you might feel that way. Game development can be complex, and sometimes the initial release may feel incomplete compared to what you were expecting. Developers often continue to refine and add content to games post-launch based on player feedback, so there's always potential for improvement. Your feedback helps developers understand what players want and can influence future updates.

2. You mentioned the inclusion of genders in Diablo, drawing a comparison to the current game. It's interesting to hear about the gaming experiences of previous generations. Games evolve over time, and what was common or expected in the past may not be the same today. Diversity and representation in games are important topics.

Overall, your perspective is valuable, and your feedback contributes to the ongoing dialogue within the gaming community. Keep sharing your thoughts and experiences, it's what makes gaming culture so vibrant and diverse. PS I agree with you Grand Father.
