Diablo 4's big Loot Reborn update was apparently in the very final stages of development when Blizzard came up with the idea for Greater Affixes, the game's most powerful item modifiers.
Greater Affixes were added to the game in Diablo 4's big Loot Reborn update from last April. They're essentially just better versions of normal affixes that guarantee the maximum roll of an item and multiply all stats by 1.5 times their regular value. The addition of Greater Affixes really shook up Diablo 4's endgame itemization, but they never would've happened if Blizzard wasn't building the game around code that could be easily tweaked without causing any major problems.
