Diablo 3 gets Metacritic bombed

Diablo 3 gets Metacritic bombed servers down Metacritic drm Diablo III Diablo 3 servers diablo 3

Oh boy. Here we go again. Thanks to Bizzard’s inclusion of  ”always on” DRM, anyone who wanted to play Diablo III last night logged on to find that the servers were down, and for quite some time too. It seems that even those wanting to get in on some single-player action were not allowed.

One review put it best:

If Blizzard demands that the user have an active online connection. The user should be allowed to demand an active online connection.

I can’t say I disagree. While I might not think review bombing in very classy or mature in any right, it doesn’t stop the fact that if someone buys a game, they should be able to play said game. Especially when that game is $60. The current user review score is a 3.6. So much for GOTY?
