I wish Grim dawn would release on ps4 so I could play that instead but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Desperation? Pretty sure that is ENTIRELY the wrong word to use here. In 2015 D3 had 30 million sold (it sold 3.5 million copies in just the first 24 hours). That's the last reported figure I could find. That was 6 years ago.
D3 player counts on Playstation consoles (as of November 2020):

D3 is still holding its own. I don't even like D3 and I surely have much disdain for Blizzard. They are a lot of things, and 9 years after D3 release I think it's safe to say that desperate isn't one of those things.
Blizzard could fart in a jar and sell it out lickety-split - regardless if you, I, or every person on this GD forum and our friends refused to buy anything else by them. Blizzard still retains one of the largest die-hard fanbases (across multiple IP's) out there that make it clear they are the ones desperate for anything Blizz poops out.
No, my friend, Blizzard is far from desperate and all the bad press they've received over the recent years, all the blunders along the way, none of that is going to stop the kiddies and older Diablo fans from rushing out and buying D4 in mass when it hits.
Not what I was getting at there. So many die hard fans hated there phone iteration of the Diablo series. So many more hated their latest (D3.) I think the revamp is a desperate attempt to draw interest in impulse buys. Its like this, they're prepping for a release...and they are going to throw a 'saving throw ticket item' before they roll for the 'action' so that on the ass end it hopefully doesn't hurt so much. Its a way to play it safe. You know as well as I do that big money doesn't necessarily mean they have a good game. I don't see any of their money on my end, what I see on my end is their product and I'm unimpressed to say the least. Did I say that already? probably, it never gets old that one. Bad press is bad press...
When you still manage to sell 30+ million /shrugs - D3 was a letdown for me as well. Drastically so. Coming from the standpoint of being a diablo fan it felt like they screwed us over but at the end of the day it has still sold like hotcakes... and kept doing so and breaking records doing it. Is it a bad game? Clearly not. Is it a bad diablo game? Sure, many of us think so - obviously not enough to matter in the long run.
As for Diablo Immortal - that's completely unrelated imo. The reason Blizzard took heat for that is, by and large, because they made it the "big reveal" at Blizzcon - which was a big nono when everyone was clearly expecting to hear about D4 (for PC). Noone is mad at them for trying to expand to mobile. They are mad at them for wasting a Blizzcon announcement ON a mobile game. People pay big bucks to attend these conventions and to be served nothing but a mobile game as the big announcement its not surprising everyone lost their marbles.
I disagree. People have been wanting a D2 revamp for years. It is abundantly clear the demand is there. It will sell and it will sell well.

I'm a realist. I don't let my dislike of D3 and Blizzard cloud my ability to see the obvious, to see things for what they really are.
It's the same thing for me if we were to be talking about PoE - there is nothing I like about that game or its implementations and business model - but I'm realistic enough to acknowledge that it is clearly popular, clearly doing well, and clearly will continue to do so for the foreseeable future and the same goes for Blizzard. Whether you see any of Blizzard's "money" on your end is completely irrelevant to the fact that they will continue to do just fine with or without us.
For me there is a lot of nostalgia when it comes to D2, just the sounds of the potions hitting the ground or being drank are like...home sort of? That fuzzy feeling you get when you know you've been here before, like when I simmer my signature chili for 12 hours on a cold winters day. As a matter of truth though, I bought both expansions for D3 and have only ever played about 30 minutes of the first one. So I'll figure it out after its been out for a year or two.
If GD2 ever becomes a reality I'm sure I'll jump on that train as soon as it leaves the station.
Preorder was a bigger deal back in the day due to limited hard copies as you ran to your nearest gamestop and the internet options was nowhere close to where it is now.
These days whether you decide not to preorder or buy the game within first couple months, no difference since it's a one click download while you sit at home in your underwear.
diablo iv is still in the development. with remaster they can examine what fans really want, if remaster get positive feedback they will make diablo iv more like d2 if negative they can stay with diablo 3 features.
From the trailer D4 does look to be thematically going back to the darker D2 style, but I'll still wait. Blizzard can make any cinematic look amazing but its the rest of the game that they've been falling short on for a while now.
Grim Dawn has more meaning and gives off the vibe you are actually playing an RPG instead of a time waste simulator by running the same maps or the same dungeon or the same everything to rush on endgame.
GD you start slow and have fun getting all the way to ultimate and 100% the game on each difficulty then do secret quests, collections and build creation.
Trash to you, there still a market for them scrub
